Zachary Outruns Kings, Wilson 6th
by Court on 08.28.08, 8:20 pm
Having position on John Phan is a big advantage to Zachary “CrazyZachary” Clark at this final table. Sometimes, using your position on an aggressive player can put you in a tough spot when a player behind you wakes up with a hand. John Phan opened for 160k from the button and Zach raised to 560k. Kyle Wilson then moved in from the big blind for 995k total, pricing Zach into the call after Phan folded his hand.
Clark’s A-J was up against the pocket kings of Wilson. In the first 18 hands of play there were no flops seen. The first flop of the final table came in an all in situation, and an ace on the flop left Wilson drawing thin. There was no help on the turn or the river and Kyle Wilson went from being a favorite to double to over 2 million chips to being the 6th place finisher for $176,035.
The good fortune for Clark gives him extra ammunition to continue in his battle for the title with big stacks Amit “Amak316″Makhija and John Phan.
