After 4 days of poker, one player managed to outlast a field of 1439 to claim himself champion of Event 1 in the PokerStars Canada Cup! Brian Bond navigated his way through to the final table, and then managed to survive all the way to heads-up, where he came from behind and defeated Jessie Wheatley to emerge as the winner!
In the final hand of play, Brian found himself all-in and the flop holding 3 of a kind versus the two pair of Jessie. When the turn and river came blanks, Brian turned to his friends watching from the rail and gave them a smile that meant a million words. Jessie, who dominated the field for most of Day 3, picked up a consolation prize of $22,597!
Congratulations Brian Bond on your win, which also comes with a PokerStars Canada Cup trophy!
Event 1 Champion: Brian Bond, $36,230!
2nd place: Jessie Wheatley, $22,597.
