After only a few hands of heads-up play between James Cooke and Steve Daraiche, James grinded into the chip lead, only to knock out Steve and become champion of Event 10 in the Montréal Poker Expo!
In the last hand of play, James opened to 280,000, and called the 3bet shove of Steve for roughly 1,600,000. He opened up 
, and although he was trailing the 
of Steve, he quickly caught up and held on for the win, as the board showed 
.
Win that pot, James winded up with all 3,960,000 chips in play, making him the Event 10 Champion. He collected $4,135 for his win, as well as a Montréal Poker Expo Champions Trophy!
Congratulations!
Event 10 Champion: James Cooke – $4,135
