Back in business
Last night was the final new player freeroll I could play at Party Poker, which for me meant that it was a last-chance tourney. Having nothing better to do and no money to play anywhere else, I decided to give it a shot. Of course, going in I wanted to give myself the best chance of making some money, so I decided to lay back and just play my cards, not getting involved unless there was good reason to. Early on, I was doing pretty well, but ran into trouble with KK vs. AJ. AJ was a short stack who I put all in preflop, and of course an A came on the flop. That hurt me and the next few playable hands I had didn't fare well with the board, so around the first break I was down to 350. I finally get AJ with the blinds at 50-100 and push all in, really just hoping to pick up the few hundred that was on the table already. One person call, however, so I turn over my AJ and he turns over his AJ and we ultimately split the pot with an aces over queens full house. However, because there had been a few limpers who folded after my raise, that pushed me back to 500.
After the first break, I just played cautiously until I hit a little mini-rush. After a couple of good hands in a row, I found myself in the neighborhood of 2,000. However, I knew I was just too nervous to play my best, so I decided I needed something else to occupy my mind. I fired up Ultimate Bet and started playing two of the penny O8 tables in addition to the tournament. This seemed to work, because before I knew it, my stack grew to somewhere around 12,000 by the second break, without me even realizing it.
At this point, we were starting to get within sniffing distance of the money. The tournament started with 2,498 players and the top 220 got paid. My stack was certainly a lot healthier than it had been, but I was not even within shouting distance of comfortable, so I went to my emergency plan for multis. In addition to being tight, I got slow and started using up most of my allotted time every time it was my turn to act. I know this probably aggravates a lot of people and I'm sorry, but I've got to do what I can to get in the money. In the end, my intentional slowness also benefits the rest of the table, since we were all able to coast into the money.
Finally, we reach the money and it's time to get down to business. I log out of Ultimate Bet (I actually had made $6 while playing) and turn my full attention to the tournament. I also figure I need a little more looseness and a little more courage, so I start popping the tops off some Amber Bock and get ready to play. But before I knew it, I got down to around 4,000 and had to tighten up again. Sure, we were in the money, but 181-200 only paid $3.50, and I wanted a little more for my efforts. Fortunately, I did manage to double through with AA.
And then the end came. Blinds are at 750-1,500 and I get dealt QQ. There's an early raise to 3,000, and I immediately move all in with my last 7,900. Big stack at the table (over 100,000) flat calls and the early raiser calls. The board looks good for me, with 10 high, but big stack turns over 99 to make trips with a 9 on the board. Early position idiot had A5. And so, that was the end of my night, finishing 89th out of 2,498. The payout was only $7, but that's a lot more than nothing, which is what I had going in to the night.
But, enough about my night. Several other people had much more profitable evenings than I did, so let's turn our attention to them.
Watch out, there's three more Kentucky boys in the top 10 in this one. We're taking over, I tell ya.

Spaniard Tops Pot-Limit Hold’em Event:
Raul Paez captures first major poker title and $99,657
The wonderful country of Spain is known for many things -- Pablo Picasso, Flamenco guitar, Sangria wine, arch-style architecture, and bullfighting, to name a few. It may be time to add ‘poker players’ as one of its greatest exports. After all, Spain produced 2001 World Series of Poker Champion -- Carlos Mortensen. His wife, Cecilia De Mortensen, from Madrid, won an event at the 2003 Jack Binion World Poker Open. Fellow countryman Carlos Fuentes, from Pamplona, finished second in an event here last year. Now, Raul Paez, from Barcelona, added his name to the talented list of Spanish poker champions. He won the $500 buy-in Pot-Limit Hold’em event and collected $99,657 as top prize in JBWPO Event #6.
Paez arrived at the final table with a decisive chip lead. His closest adversary (Jack Ward) was outchipped by 2 to 1. It took Paez three hours to top the other eight finalists, as he never was in serious danger of losing the chip lead. This marked Paez’s first major tournament victory.
After playing for 13 hours during the previous day, the nine finalists took their seats at the final table on Day Two. Players were eliminated in the following order:
9th Place – Calvin Crain, the 43-year-old owner of the Kentucky Turf Company in Lexington, KY, was the first player to exit. He lost with A-5 to Raul Paez’s K-Q. The final board showed Q-7-2-7-Q, giving Paez trip Queens. This was Crain’s first live tournament. He received $6,229 for 9th place.
8th Place – Chris Grigorian, 44, who has made countless final tables in his twenty years as a tournament pro, hoped to make a run at the chip lead, but was never able to gather chips. On his final hand, Grigorian was dealt J-J and was knocked out by A-Q when two Aces came on board. Grigorian, a.k.a. “The Armenian Express” was derailed in 8th place, netting $9,343.
7th Place – Vince Ballinger, a 57-year-old retiree from Greenwood, IN, took two horrible beats in a row and went out next. After losing most of his chips on the previous hand, he was dealt 9-9 and flopped a nine – normally a powerhouse hand. But in the end, he lost to four hearts on board. Tony Cousinaeu’s heart flush ripped the heart out of Ballinger, who took home $12,457 for 7th place.
6th Place – Dave Cung, a 32-year-old real estate investor from Calgary, Alberta, was lowest in chips at the start and made a nice run. He went all in with K-Q on his final hand and was called instantly by chip leader Raul Paez -- with A-Q. Cung’s dominated hand failed to improve and Paez won with Ace-high. Cung’s payout amounted to $15,571.
5th Place – Robert Hooten, who is in the telecommunications business in hometown Kansas City, was eliminated shortly thereafter. He received $18,685.
4th Place – This was Jack Ward’s second final table at the 2005 JBWPO. He was 9th in the No-Limit Hold’em event #2. Ward pulled off at least one miracle in this finale, catching a life-saving Nine on the river, when he had 9-9 and was ‘all in’ against Tony Cousineau’s K-K. But that would be Ward’s lone highlight at the final table. A short time later, he took 10-10 up against Mike Lutz’s Q-Q and couldn’t repeat the miracle catch. Nevertheless, Ward has to be satisfied making two final tables thus far, against fields of 628 and 284 respectively. Ward, an auto broker from Gulport, MS who has won tournaments in Los Angeles and Reno in the past, added $21,800 to his prize winnings.
3rd Place – Mike Lutz, a poker pro from Louisville, KY, suffered a horrible beat when he went all-in with J-J and was a decisive favorite over Raul Peaz -- holding Q-6. Had Lutz won the key hand, he might have made a made things interesting. A Queen on the river crushed Lutz, who went out with $28,028 for 3rd place. Lutz also took 5th place at the Festa de Lago (Bellagio – Las Vegas) last year.
The heads-up confrontation featured Spaniard Raul Paez, relatively unknown in the United States, versus longtime tournament regular Tony Cousineau, from Florida. Cousineau has developed a reputation for getting deep into the money, but rarely winning the top prize. Indeed, Cousineau is a master at getting through 90 percent of the field (and has arguably one of the best records of in-the-money finishes to prove it). But, winning has proven to be elusive.
From the onset of one-on-one play, Cousineau knew the challenge would be formidable. Not only had Paez held a decisive chip lead during the entire time, he enjoyed a 4 to 1 chip advantage over Cousineau. Hence, it became critical that Cousineau pick a key hand to double up with, and then parlay that into a comeback win.
Ten minutes into the duel, Cousineau made his final stand:
Cousineau: Ac 4h
Paez: Ks 5s
The flop came 7-6-4, no suits, good for Cousineau – who held a pair. The turn brought a Queen, no help to either player. Paez needed a Three, Five, Eight, or King to win. On the river, an Eight rained down from the poker gods, making a poker champion of Paez, and adding to Cousineau’s disappointing final table legacy. As the runner up, Tony Cousineau received $54,111 and was visibly upset with the end-result.
Raul Paez, aged 27, has played poker tournaments in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, previously – as well as in Spain and France. However, he is primarily a limit cash game player who now plays in private games at home and on the Internet. His family owns and operates a delicatessen in the beautiful Mediterranean coastal city of Barcelona.
Paez began to take poker seriously only two years ago. He said he entered a casino a Barcelona a few years earlier, saw a poker game, sat down without knowing how to play, and promptly lost all his money. He returned again and again, each time becoming better and learning more. Eventually, Paez began beating the local game.
When asked what makes Spaniards such great poker players and competitors, Paez spoke through a translator: “We are passionate people. We are very dedicated when we put our minds to something.”
Raul Paez plans to use the nearly $100,000 in prize money to play many more poker tournaments – both in the United States and Europe. He is, most certainly, a player to watch carefully who has a bright future ahead.
