The Second Chance of The Playground Poker Fall Classic attracted 136 players, of which 22 survived Day 1 to return today for the conclusion.
When play fell down to 4 players, they decided to make an ICM chop based on their chip counts, leaving $4,000 extra for the eventual winner, as well as a Playground Poker Fall Classic Champion’s Trophy. Play quickly fell heads-up after a deal was made, as Benny Chen knocked out Behram Antia, while crippling Noy in the same hand.
After only a few hands of heads-up play between Jason Mandanici-Turcot and Benny Chen, Jason found his chips all-in on the flop after a check-raise from Benny. Jason had an over-pair to the board, but it was no match against the flopped straight of Benny, who held on to win Event 14!
With the extra $4,000 for the win, Benny Chen finished by pocketing $34,223, while Jason’s conciliation prize was of $27,695.
Congratulations!
Event 14 Champion: Benny Chen – $34,233
Event 14 Runner-Up: Jason Mandanici-Turcot – $27,695
