Tournament Report

The $300 No-Limit Hold'em Modified Shoot-out for 2006 started with 961 players.
Sessions were held at 10 am and 1 pm and the top three players on each single table advanced to the 4 pm Finals. A total of 303 winners returned at 4 pm and by the 2 pm curfew there were 24 players remaining. They returned at 4 pm Wednesday in pursuit of the remaining money left in the total prize pool of $244,305. The tournament was finally decided after midnight when Dale Montford of nearby Norwich, CT, claimed the title over Alan Goodman. Dale will return to Norwich with the Championship Trophy, commemorative leather jacket and $68,406!
The final table began just before 8 pm and it was not long before the short stack, Salvatore Amendola, East Haven, CT, was all-in. He had to feel pretty good with pocket A's against Edmund Gress' pocket 10's until a 10 appeared on the flop. Salvatore finished in 10th position for $3,787. Michael Libraty of Hollywood, FL, was all-in for his last $60,000 with pocket Q's.
Adam Lippert called the all-in with Q5; the flop came 346 and a Q on the turn cheered Michael but the cheers turned to sorrow when a deuce came on the river to give Adam the straight. Michael collected $4,886 for 9th. Joseph Worrell, a resident of Brigantine, NJ, tried to make something happen but could not catch the cards and he lost his last chips to Sherwin Agard. Joe took home $6,108 and finished in 8th.
There would be almost an hour of play before Edmund Gress took a stand with KQ. Dale called Edmund's allin with pocket 9's. Edmund could not pair, finished 7th and returned to home in Chester, CT with $7,329. Shortly thereafter, Eugen Cirneci of Ridgewood, NY, had pocket Q's and moved all-in. Dale again made the call this time with AJ. An A on the turn gave the pot to Dale and Eugen was relegated to 6th place and he took home $8,551 for his efforts.
Sherwin Agard of Randolph, MA, finished in 5th place after he was all-in with pocket K's but lost when Alan Goodman with AJ caught an A on the river. Sherwin had $10,993 for his work at the final table.
The last four players were virtually even in chips but the tide soon turned to the top two finishers. Adam Lippert, of Brooklyn, NY, who had finished 2nd in this event in the Foxwoods Poker Classic, had earlier lost a large pot with AK to Alan Goodman's pocket 9‘s. The penultimate hand for Adam was also a loss for Neil Harvey of York, PA. Dale went all-in and both Adam and Neil called. Adam turned over pocket 6's, Neil pocket 7's and Dale pocket 9's. The 9's held up and both Adam and Neil were severely short stacked. The next hand they were both all-in again this time against Alan.
Adam had pocket Q's, Neil A6 and Alan K6. When the board came K97J6, Alan had eliminated both players. Neil was in 3rd because of a slight chip advantage over Adam who took 4th. Adam took home $13,437 and Neil $19,545.
Dale had the chip advantage beginning heads-up play and he slowly increased his edge. When Alan finally took a stand and went all-in with A7, Dale called and turned over A8. A board of 346102 gave the victory to Dale and left Alan with $35,790 to ease the pain of losing. Dale was the $300 Shoot-out Champion for 2006! Reported by Jeffrey A Toth for Foxwoods Resort Casino
