Congratulations to .....Jeff “AJ Trips” Walsh
|
It’s Like Deja-Vous All Over Again!
Most serious poker players know the story of Dan
Harrington. In 2003 and 2004, Harrington made perhaps the
most amazing back-to-back run in the history of poker,
when he made the final table, in two, consecutive World
Series of Poker Events.
Well, Jeff “AJ Trips” Walsh may not have had to go through
over 2500 players (as Harrington did in 2004), but he has
become WFP’s version of “Action Dan”. At the Colorado
Café, on June 28, 2008, Walsh overcame almost 60 players
and close to 6 hours of poker action, to win the Bar Tab
tournament for a second, consecutive time.
“Wow!” Walsh profoundly exclaimed, after realizing what he
accomplished. “This was a great event. Doing the whole
thing in one day, it really felt like a true poker
tournament, because we all had our endurance tested. It
just seemed like whenever I decided to make a play, it
worked out in my favor. This was fantastic preparation for
the finals, which is now what I’m gunning for.”
Hand of the match, three players left: It was down to the
final three players; Mark “Met Lover” Kline made a strong
raise with his pocket queens. “Cowboy” Joe Quispe decided
to make a move of his own, and re-raised, all-in. Kline
immediately called, and although he was in danger of being
eliminated, he was happy to see that all Quispe had was
A-4 suited, putting Kline in prime position to double up.
After the flop and turn netted no help to anyone, the
tension mounted. Quispe only had 3 outs, but that didn’t
stop Kline (or, for that matter, “River” Rob) from being
nervous. Sure enough, as has seemingly been his life story
at WFP, Rob “rivered” a miracle ace, to the shock of the
crowd and the utter dismay of Kline, who would finish in
3rd place. As crazy as that was, however, that would end
up being nothing compared to …
Hand of the match, heads-up: Quispe and Walsh exchanged
back and forth wins for a good twenty minutes, but Walsh
was a fairly, heavy chip leader, going into the final hand
of the match. Quispe, desperate for a double-up, made an
all-in move with K-2 off suit, and Walsh called with J-9
suited. Walsh would later explain his call: “I felt my
cards were live, pure and simple. I didn’t put Joe on a
strong hand, and even if my read was wrong, I still
would’ve had close to $90,000 chips to play with. So for
me, it was worth the gamble”. Walsh initially regretted
his call as the flop came out K-2-7, placing Quispe in a
dominant position, with two pair and Walsh with little
hope, except a runner-runner miracle. The turn was an 8,
which meant that Walsh needed a 10, and only a 10, to give
him an improbable, but possible, straight. Sure enough,
with you-know-who dealing the cards… BAM! 10 on the river!
The crowd gasped, and it was like déjà-vous, all over
again…Jeff Walsh became the back-to-back Bar-tab
Tournament winner, and took home another $100.00 sponsored
satellite seat and another 1st Place trophy for his
growing collection, from NJ Free Poker.
