Tournament Report
| The $3000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship of the 2006 Foxwoods Poker
Classic was captured by Sean McCabe as he overcame the challenge of 203 other competitors.
Sean, who hails from Sunny Isles Beach, FL, took home the championship
trophy, commemorative jacket and the top prize of $204,168!
Eleven players gathered at 4 PM to begin the battle for the title. It took only a few hands for Alex
Todd of NYC, NY, to find himself taking home 11th place money of $10,136. Steven Zoine, the final table
chip leader, saw his stack erode quickly as he lost once with pocket 6's to Hoa Nguyen's A10 when an A
came on the river and then with AK to Sean's AQ when the board came J610K3. Steven, from Merrick, NY,
ended up in 9th position with $13,032. He was all-in on the same hand with David Phan, Cerritos, CA; Steven
had KQ, David had QQ and Jin Kim had pocket 10's. When the turn gave Kim a set, David and Steve
were both out; David was the 10th place winner of $11,584.
With the blinds at 6K/12K and soon to go up, 'Dakota' Happas of Braintree, MA, had to make a
stand; his 97 was no match for Sean's pocket K's and Dakota was in 8th position with $14,480. The blinds
went to 8K/16K and James Kolodny, a resident of Cleveland, OH, soon found himself all-in with pocket 6's.
Gary Rabin had Jim covered by 3K and called with Q10; a Q on the turn left Jim in 7th place with $17,376.
With six players remaining, Sean had a comfortable chip advantage. Jin Kim of Flushing, NY, lost
a chunk of chips to Gary Rabin's pocket K's when his AK did not improve. Shortly thereafter, his K5 lost to
Sean's AJ as Sean caught a J on the flop. Kim collected $23,168 for 6th place. Gary Rabin added to his
stack by eliminating Hoa Nguyen and Anthony Salerno in rapid succession. Hoa, of Sterling, VA, was all-in
with 95; Gary's Q9 was enough to leave Hoa in 5th good for $28,960. Anthony Salerno, Howell, NJ, with
Q10 fell victim to Gary's AJ; Anthony would return home with 4th place and $40,544 for his efforts.
Gary Rabin, a New York City resident, tried to cut into Sean's ever growing stack. Sean beat back
the challenge and soon was relegating Gary to 3rd position when Gary failed to catch his straight. His reward
was $60,816. Two were left for the title and with the blinds at 10K/20K it was soon over. Raymond Millard,
a resident of Tamarac, FL, was all-in with 56 after a K53 flop but Sean had K7 and Raymond was the 2nd
place winner of $110,048. Sean McCabe was the $3000 No-Limit Hold'em Champion for 2006!
