Tournament Report
| The 2006 Foxwoods Poker Classic $600 Limit Hold'em Championship went to Michael Gamerman of
Foxboro, MA. Michael, the final table chip leader, fought off the stiff competition of Roman Opielowski and the
rest of the 280 person field to claim the championship trophy, commemorative jacket and $50,760.
The final table got underway a little after 4 PM and, with the limits at 6K/12K, it only took three hands
for Alan McLaughlin of Saunderstown, RI, to put all his chips in the pot. He had AK to Michael's AJ and was
looking good until a J appeared on the river. Alan took home $3,008 for 10th place. After the levels went to
8K/16K two players were out in quick succession both losing to Christos Bekiaris. Richard Sanford had pocket
9's and Christos had J10. A 10 on the flop left Richard, a resident of Stratford, CT, in 9th position with $3,384.
Pete Krimitsos, Orangebrook, NJ, also fell victim to 10's He was all-in with J6 to Christos' 109; again a 10
came on the flop sending Pete home with 8th place money of $3,760. Arkadiy Tsinis, Las Vegas, NV, lost a big
hand with AK to Roman who had pocket Q's. A short time later, Arkadiy was all-in with 107 with a board of
75822 but Michael had A8 for a higher pair and Arkadiy was relegated to 7th position worth $4,512.
Christos left John Muse with less than 20K in chips when his pocket J's topped John's A7. The next
hand John went all-in with K7 after a flop of 676 but Serafim Zaharopoulos had pocket J's and with no further
help from the board John would return home to Louisville, KY with 6th place money of $6,016. Serafim was
the next to go; he had A8 and went all-in after a Ah7Kh flop. Michael had pocket 7c7h for a set; the 2h4h on the
turn and river gave Michael an unneeded flush. Serafim, a resident of Clifton, NJ, took 5th position worth
$7,144. With the blinds at 15K/30K, Steven Kunevich was down to felt; he went all-in with 63 after a K56 flop
but Michael paired a 10 on the river and Steven would take 4th place money of $10,152 home to Brookline, MA.
With three players left, Michael is the clear chip leader, Christos and Roman both take chips from Michael's
stack but each time he fights back to regain his edge. Christos loses a big hand to Michael when Michael's
J outkicks Christos' 10 and then, in three way action, Christos is out when Roman hits a set of J's on the
turn. Christos, a resident of nearby Norwich, CT, takes 3rd place and $15,416.
Michael has almost a 2 to 1 chip advantage entering heads up play and the blinds at 20K/40K. He ate
away at his opponents stack until Roman was forced all with 53. A 3 on the flop gave him hope but Michael,
with K10, hit a 10 on the turn to leave Roman, a resident of Worcester, MA, in 2nd place with $27,824. And
Michael Gamerman was the $600 Limit Hold'em Champion of the 2006 Foxwoods Poker Classic!
