Kahle Burns Wins Event #9 for $416,500

Posted November 13, 2019 at 9:34 pm ET by

Kahle Burns wins Event #9 of the 2019 Poker Masters.

Kahle Burns has done it! The Australian pro has taken down Event #9 of the 2019 Poker Masters for $416,500 after beating reigning Poker Masters champion Ali Imsirovic heads up. By winning this event, Burns stays in contention for the Purple Jacket along with Sean Winter, Chance Kornuth, and current leader Sam Soverel. After claiming the victory, Burns was excited to keep his Purple Jacket hopes alive while also lauding the fun atmosphere at the table.

“If you look at the final table today, everyone’s been there before and it’s a jovial bunch and guys that don’t mind having a laugh,” Burns said about the laid back atmosphere at the table. “Things are pretty chill even though we’re playing for a lot of money. I think it makes the experience much more enjoyable instead of a bunch of robots in a staring contest and I definitely enjoy the table talk.”

2019 Poker Masters Event #9 No Limit Hold’em Results
1 Kahle Burns 300 $416,500
2 Ali Imsirovic 210 $269,500
3 Sean Winter 150 $183,750
4 Sam Soverel 120 $122,500
5 Elio Fox 90 $98,000
6 David Peters 60 $73,500
7 Alex Foxen 60 $61,250

The six-handed action started with Ali Imsirovic in the lead but after taking some hits right off the bat, David Peters took command of the table leading to a hand that would change the course of this event. From the button, Peters put both blinds all in with queen-deuce of diamonds, and Imsirovic called all in for his tournament life after much deliberation with ace-jack of diamonds. The ICM implications were huge as both Elio Fox and Sean Winter were much shorter than Peters and Imsirovic, but yet they were the ones clashing for an enormous pot. Imsirovic’s hand held up and Peters was left very little and he busted in sixth place shortly thereafter.

Elio Fox busted in fifth place when it was Kahle Burns who shoved on him with ace-seven offsuit and Fox snap-called with pocket queens. Fox was in a great spot but it did not work out for him as Burns managed to catch up by hitting an ace on the turn. The river was a blank and Fox busted was ousted.

Poker Masters Championship leader Sam Soverel busted in fourth place when he lost a big flip against Kahle Burns. Soverel held king-queen of clubs against Burns’ pocket nines and those managed to hold up. Burns increased his chip lead and Sean Winter soon followed Soverel to the exit. On the very next hand, Winter found himself all in with king-queen and Burns called with ace-nice to bring the tournament down to heads-up play. Watch these back-to-back eliminations in the clip below.

Despite mounting an impressive comeback, Imsirovic couldn’t close it out as on the final hand he found himself all in with queen-jack suited against Burns’ ace-jack. The flop gave Imsirovic a pair of queens but it also showed three diamonds of which the Aussie had the ace. The river brought another diamond and Burns took down the event and Imsirovic was not only eliminated from this event but also from Purple Jacket contention.

The cards are now in the air for the penultimate final table of Event #9 of the 2019 Poker Masters. There are massive Purple Jacket implications to be had at this final table as current leader Sam Soverel again finds himself contending for a win while Ali Imsirovic, Sean Winter, and Kahle Burns can make big waves with a win today.

Jump into the action right now in the player below as Ali Nejad and Jamie Kerstetter will take you through the action until a winner is crowned.

Ali Imsirovic Leads Event #9 Final Table; Sam Soverel Looks to Increase Lead

Posted November 13, 2019 at 2:25 am ET by

The penultimate event of the 2019 Poker Masters was also the final $25,000 buy-in event of the series as 49 entrants filled out the PokerGO Studio to partake in Event #9: $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em. After 17 full levels of play, it would be defending Poker Masters Purple Jacket winner Ali Imsirovic finishing as chip leader heading into Wednesday’s PokerGO streamed Event #9 final table.

Throughout the day, a total of 25 players would take part in Event #9 with Seth Davies making his debut at the 2019 Poker Masters. The 49-entrant field created a prize pool of $1,225,000 that would pay the final seven players, and after a flurry of late entrants, three tables would be in play once registration closed. The PokerGO Early Action stream would only be on for about an hour as the field was quickly reduced to two tables. Once the final nine was reached, and everyone redrew to the same table, it would be Ben Yu finishing in ninth place to leave the final eight on the money bubble.

Cary Katz did his best to hold on, but after committing holding [AhJh], he ran into Kahle Burns’ [AsQc]. Both players flopped a pair, but Katz was unable to improve anymore, and he was eliminated in eighth place and on the money bubble. With the final seven now in the money and needing to lose one more player before play ended for the day, the two shortish stacks in Elio Fox and Sam Soverel both secured doubles. Soverel’s would come at the hands of Alex Foxen, and when he was left with just under four big blinds, he would fall the next hand in seventh place to Burns who outdrew him on the turn to conclude play for the night.

Seat Name Country Chip Count
1 Ali Imsirovic Bosnia and Herzegovina 2,020,000
2 Sean Winter United States 470,000
3 Kahle Burns Australia 1,790,000
4 Sam Soverel United States 530,000
5 Elio Fox United States 605,000
6 David Peters United States 710,000

The button is on Sam Soverel, and there is 16:28 remaining in Level 18 with blinds at 15,000-30,000 and a 30,000-big blind ante.

Leading the final six players is Ali Imsirovic with 2,020,000 in chips and with a win in Event #9 can move into third place on the Poker Masters Championship Standings leaderboard with one event to play. Second in chips is Australian Kahle Burns with 1,790,000 in chips. Fresh off winning two WSOP Europe bracelets, Burns has collected two Poker Masters cashes and with a win in Event #9, he can move into second place on the leaderboard.

Third overall is U.S. Poker Open winner David Peters with 710,000 in chips. Peters is collecting his first cash of the Poker Masters. Fourth overall is Elio Fox with 605,000 who has one Poker Masters cash to his name.

Rounding out the final table are Sam Soverel and Sean Winter with 530,000 and 470,000 respectively. Soverel is the current leader in the Poker Masters Championship Standings on the back of his five previous cashes and one win, and he is currently one min-cash ahead of Chance Kornuth in second place. Every ladder up for Soverel will put strengthen his grip on the Poker Masters Purple Jacket as he looks to go back-to-back in Higher Roller Triple Crown Player of the Series titles after winning the British Poker Open Championship. Winter sits in fourth overall on the leaderboard in a points-tie with Burns. Both he and Burns will be looking to gain ground on both Soverel and Kornuth so that a result in the final event could make-or-break the final Poker Masters Championship Standings.
