BelaLany earns tough victory in 2010 WBCOOP Main Event


2010 WBCOOP
by Jen Newell on February 1, 2010 2:32 AM

WBCOOP An opportunity for those who take poker seriously enough to blog about it in some form or another, whether for work or pure enjoyment of the game, to compete in any of a week's worth of freeroll tournaments for tickets to SCOOP events.

The WBCOOP started on January 25 and ran throughout the course of the week with a little bit of everything - NLHE, PLO, and even an 8-game mix. All tournaments gave away entries to Spring Championship of Online Poker tournaments, which players can then use in the coming months when the 2010 SCOOP gets underway. For many of us who don't play as much as we'd like, the chance to parlay a freeroll into the possibility of significant money is, as mentioned, a treat.

Today, a total of 2,062 bloggers took seats in the WBCOOP Main Event for SCOOP tickets of various values: $22 tickets to 46th - 136th place, $55 tickets to 28th - 45th place, and $215 tickets to 10th - 27th place. (There were also SCOOP tickets awaiting those who did the best live event blogging and best tweeting throughout the series.) And that brought us to the fight for the final table.

It was serious business. No one at the last two tables was leaving without a fight. But it finally came down to hand-for-hand play and took only a few minutes to see lordTasse push all-in with pocket jacks and BelaLany call with Q♦ K♦. The flop hit the latter with 7♣ K♠ 3♣ for top pair, and the 6♠ turn and 9♥ river ended it for lordTasse, who was awarded a SCOOP ticket worth $215 for the effort.

In Level 31, with blinds at 3,600/7,200 and a 900 ante, the final table began with chip counts as follows:

Seat 1: BelaLany (615,412 in chips)
Seat 2: ErickRiveraD (402,949 in chips)
Seat 3: luvrhino (522,812 in chips) out of hand
Seat 4: lostsoul311 (470,822 in chips)
Seat 5: metsapull (958,908 in chips)
Seat 6: hanktankus (447,078 in chips)
Seat 7: sprocket66 (414,709 in chips)
Seat 8: cardinal23 (697,514 in chips)
Seat 9: kalamiis (624,796 in chips)
