The Playground Poker Fall Classic Event 11 – $500 + $50 Pot Limit Omaha ‘3 Lives’ tournament has just been won by Chu Ming Ao, who defeated Joey Anthony Boczek in a heated heads-up duel to take home the $10,420 first prize, and earn a Playground Poker Fall Classic Bracelet!

On the final hand, Chu raised pot preflop, and moved all-in after Joey re-potted. This was the showdown:

Chu: Ace of Clubs Ace of Spades 10 of Diamonds 6 of Hearts

Joey: 7 of Diamonds 10 of Hearts 9 of Spades 9 of Clubs

The board ran out 8 of Clubs 6 of Diamonds King of Hearts Jack of Diamonds Ace of Diamonds, and Chu’s set of aces eliminated Joey out of the tournament, who collected $8,250 for his runner-up finish.

    • 15 players started Day 2 today and after the first level and a half, 2 players have been eliminated, leaving just 13 players still in the action. Event 10 attracted 92 total players and 10 will be paid, so the money bubble is approaching. As this is an 8-handed tournament, the final table bubble may also be significant, which will happen when the 10th player has been eliminated (the final table starts at 9 players).
