Heads up wasn’t very long between Tyler Foran and George Mounsef, but it didn’t lack for action. Mounsef came into the final phase with the lead, but Foran fought back to take the lead for a bit.
Mounsef fought back into the lead again after a hand that started out pretty tame. Foran limped in, and Mounsef checked to [invalid notations]. They both checked again to the Q♣ turm, where Mounsef fired 60k.
Foran called to see K♥ river, and Mounsef fired 80k. Foran called, but mucked when Mounsef showed king-six for the riverboat. That gave Mounsef the slight lead again, and it all kicked off the next hand.
Mounsef raised to 110k, then called it off when Foran shoved for 935k. It was a race between sevens for Foran and Q♥10♥ for Mounsef.
Foran was still ahead by the turn, but Mounsef was drawing big to both his overcards and hearts. He hit the heart on the river of 5♥6♥9♦9♣8♥ and it was all over.
The pair made a deal after the stacks evened out, agreeing that 1st place would take $7k, with second getting $6,270. Mounsef mentioned after the game that he doesn’t always play these lower buy-in games, but he makes his decision by flipping a couple of the Ryan Snides memorial chips he has. If they come up with two of Ryan’s faces, he plays. Today was a double-Snides, so perhaps he had a little help making it to the trophy.
