The first event of the Playground Poker Spring Classic 2014 has just crowned a champion! Steve Pouliot, who had a big lead on the field for most of the second half of Day 3, has managed to eliminate Daniel Charette in 2nd place and take home the victory, the $32,184 cash prize, and the Playground Poker Spring Classic champion’s bracelet!
After Daniel had made a comeback heads-up by doubling up twice to nearly even the stacks, he found himself all-in preflop yet again with the better hand. However this time his 
couldn’t hold up against Steve’s 
, as the fours made a runner-runner straight on a 
board.
Daniel still walked away with a nice $28,684 prize, as the players had made an agreement to split the money evenly, leaving an extra $3,500 and the bracelet to the eventual winner (which was one of the terms of this event).
Congratulations Steve Pouliot!
