Derrick Rosenbarger<\/strong>, an Air Force jet pilot from Clovis, New Mexico, will have a Christmas to remember after winning the $500,824 first place prize at the televised partypoker World Poker Tour (WPT) Montreal Main Event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rosenbarger went into the six-handed final table as the second shortest stack, but he kept his nerve, picked his spots well and kept himself in contention. This is how the final table lined up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Seat<\/th>\nPlayer<\/th>\nChips<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nSerge Cantin<\/td>\n6,960,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nMukul Pahuja<\/td>\n5,945,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\nDerrick Rosenbarger<\/td>\n1,985,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nAlexandre Lavigne<\/td>\n2,150,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\nLily Kiletto<\/td>\n370,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/td>\nSylvain Siebert<\/td>\n8,435,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Despite Lily Kiletto<\/strong> starting the final table armed with only six big blinds, it took 34 hands for the first player to head to the rail \u2013 and it wasn\u2019t Kiletto. Alexandre Lavigne<\/strong> saw the action fold to him in the cutoff seat and he decided to move all in for 1,100,000 chips with what turned out to be . Serge Cantin<\/strong> was the big blind and he called, showing as he did so. By the river the board read , busting Lavigne who picked up $98,574 for his efforts.<\/p>\n

One hand later and Kiletto came unstuck. Having doubled up twice early on at the final table, Kiletto was all in for 650,000 and up against two callers in the shape of Mukul Pahuja<\/strong> and Sylvain Siebert<\/strong>. The two active players checked the flop, then Siebert bet 400,000 on the turn. Kiletto revealed the while Siebert flipped up . The completed the board and Kiletto headed to the Playground Poker Club<\/strong>\u2019s cashier to collect $121,848.<\/p>\n

The remaining four players butted heads for the best part of 35 hands before the play passed around to Siebert on the button and he moved all in. Cantin, in the small blind, called and showed pocket eights, which were ahead of Siebert\u2019s . A board reading saw the pot slid towards Cabntin and left Siebert with nothing but dust where he chips used to be. Sibert won $162,936 for his fourth place finish.<\/p>\n

Three became two eight hands later when Cantin found himself all in, again with a pair of eights. This time his \u201csnowmen\u201d needed to hold against Pahuja\u2019s , but they couldn\u2019t manage it because the dealer spread the board, Cantin busted and headed to the sidelines armed with $220,170 in prize money.<\/p>\n

The heads-up battle between Pahuja and Rosenbarger started with the former holding a 17,600,000 to 8,250,000 chip lead. Rosenbarger managed to find a double up and by the time 25 hands of one-on-one poker had played out, Rosenbarger led.<\/p>\n

It was then Pahuja\u2019s turn to double-up, but after doing so he still trailed Rosenbarger. Then on Hand 152 of the final table, Rosenbarger set the price to play at 600,000. Pahuja three-bet all in for 6,975,000 and Rosenbarger snap-called. The Air Force pilot flipped up a pair of queens, while Pahuja tabled . The [9dh] flop gave Pahuja some outs to a straight in addition to his overcard; the allowed Pahuja to catch a third four to win, too. The river failed to alter the course of the hand, Pahuja busted ($340,928) and Rosenbarger had won the partypoker WPT Montreal Main Event.<\/p>\n
