After a long afternoon (and early evening) of heated poker battles, we have a winner in Event 3 of the Full Tilt Poker Montreal Festival.
The winner is Russel Turner, a regular afternoon tournament player here at Playground Poker Club, and for the win he takes home $1,400 plus the beautiful Champion’s trophy.
To win the event he barely edged out second-place finisher Nicolas Rabba who played solid poker all afternoon and but for a pretty big cooler at the outset of final table action could have been the massive chipleader 9-handed. Nicolas won $1,264 for his runner up finish.
Third place went to Matthew Parker who was the last of 4 players to take $800 after the deal that was struck with 6 players remaining.
