How Jeremy Ausmus won Event #7
The final table started with no one in serious danger. “No one was terribly short coming in, so there wasn’t a ton of ICM pressure,” Ausmus told PokerNews. “It kind of allowed you to play a few more hands.” ICM, or the Independent Chip Model, estimates what your chips are worth in prize money. When one player is very short, the others can tighten up and wait for that player to bust so they move up the pay ladder. With no one short, that pressure eased. You can test the idea with our ICM calculator.
Negreanu was the first to bust. According to Card Player, he flopped a pair of aces with ace-eight, but Cherish Andrews flopped a set of deuces. Ausmus then took over. His pocket nines won a flip against Andrews’ ace-queen, and later another pair of nines held against Mateos, who moved all in from the big blind with seven-three. Ausmus’s pocket kings then knocked out McKeehen, the 2015 WSOP Main Event champion, in third.
Oganyan entered late and still started the final table as the chip leader, according to PokerNews. He also doubled up through Ausmus with ace-king against ace-queen. Heads-up, the key hand went the other way. Ausmus held seven-five and made a straight on the river against Oganyan’s trip fours, then called Oganyan’s all-in. Card Player reported that the pot gave Ausmus about 91% of the chips in play. On the last hand, his queen-seven held against Oganyan’s jack-five.
