The $60 + $10 NL Hold’em Win the Button tournament was an event in the Playground Anniversary Series that was held on December 17th, 2015 at Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake. There were a total of 74 entries in the tournament, which added up to a prize pool of $4,307.00. This was distributed according to the following table.
Note that there were several player deals made in this tournament which affected the prize pool distribution. First, with 8 players remaining the players chose to withdraw a total of $100 from the 2nd and 3rd place payouts to pay the 8th place player (bubble save). Then at 3 players remaining, the players chose to award the 3rd and 2nd place finishers $900 each, leaving $1,177 for the player who would eventually finish in first place. When heads-up play began, the two remaining players, Jean Philippe Pepin and Giovanni Petrella, decided to further modify the remaining prize pool, settling on $977 for 2nd and $1,100 for first. After just a few minutes of heads up play, the two players chose to divide the remaining prize money evenly between them ($1,039 each) and the tournament was over.
