MONTE CARLO MILLIONS POKER TOURNAMENT UPDATE
Phil Ivey and Paul Jackson battle for the final prize
The final table for the Monte Carlo Millions was in full swing with the last two players, Phil Ivey and Paul Jackson going at it hammer and tongs as the InfoPowa office closed.
Around 5pm Monte Carlo time host Matt Savage graciously introduced the final players and the seats and chips are as follows:
- Seat 1 Richard Herbert 908,000
- Seat 2 Phil Ivey 2,317,000
- Seat 3 Kenna James 310,000
- Seat 4 Marc Goodwin 681,000
- Seat 5 Paul Jackson 809,000
- Seat 6 Bengt Sonnert 582,000
- Seat 7 John Juanda 160,000
The blinds were 8k - 16k with a 2k ante as they started playing for the big one.
The first casualty was not long in coming. At 5.19pm Kenna James was out, followed 5 minutes later by Juan Juanda.
Richard Herbert left at 5.52pm in 5th place with $175 000 in prize money, followed by Bengt Sonnert at 6.21pm with $250 000 for his 4th spot.
That left Phil Ivery, Marc Goodwin and Paul Jackson, with Ivey way ahead on chips.
Goodwin took the road at 8.36pm in third place with $325 000 and as we closed office Jackson and Ivey were going it at it.
