Key Players 

When four handed Dodson led the players in chips but couldn't handle the luck of the cards when MacIntosh raised with one card to come. Ian had bet with Jacks, the board stood 10-7-5-4 no flush. John had 8-9 for a straight draw which he thought he could bluff with. Ian called and had only 6 losers but caught the Jack for trips and lost to the straight. John took out Johan with another draw on the flop to make it 3 handed.

Upset with his beat, Dobson became super aggressive and came straight back to gain chips but was really unhappy when he got all-in with A-J to see John turn over J-J which this time held up.

Heads up, McIntosh had about a 3-2 chip lead on Mel Weiner. Mel was never that close again. When John raised on the flop and Weiner reraised all-in John called with A 7. The flop had come 7 5 4. Weiner had 4 3. With a 2 on the turn, Mel picked up the draw that made John McIntosh champion
