The Main Event in the Montréal Poker Expo has just come to an end, and after 4 days of poker, the starting field of 647 players was reduced down to only one finalist: Chan An Luong! When play fell down to three players, an agreement was made whereby each player took a share of the prize pool based on their chip counts at the time, leaving an additional $12,500 to be won by the eventual tournament champion - who would also take home the beautiful Montréal Poker Expo Main Event Champion's Trophy. Jonathan Brassard was the first to get eliminated after the deal, as Chan An cleaned him out in two huge hands.

Event 12 – $500 + $50 NL Hold’em Freeze
Event 12 Champion: Rodney Ramalho
After deep-running an EPT Main Event last week in Barcelona, Rodney Ramalho returned to Montreal just in time to play in the $500 + $50 Event, part of the Montréal Poker Expo. He stayed under the radar for most of the tournament, until play fell down to 6 players, where a combination of run-good and play-good propelled him into the chip lead.
He entered heads-up play versus opponent Trevor Delaney with roughly a 3-to-1 chip advantage, and never looked back. On the last hand of play, Trevor opened his button to 105,000, to which Rodney replied with a 3bet to 275,000. Trevor quickly moved all-in for just over 1-million, and got an even quicker call.

Rodney’s big-slick held for the win on a 
board, and with that pot he became our Event 12 Champion! He collected a sweet $14,830 for his finish, as well as a Montréal Poker Expo Champion’s Trophy.
Congratulations!
Event 12 Champion: Rodney Ramalho – $14,830.00
