Given the ‘All-in or Nothing’ formula of Event 8, where players only have the option of folding their cards or moving all-in, it only took 3 hours to crown a champion. At the end of it all, it was Shauna Marie Webber who triumphed over heads-up opponent Christian Brousseau to take home the first prize of $2,129. Shauna also earned a PokerStars Canada Cup trophy for her win in this event, which attracted a total of 67 players.

Congratulations Shauna!

The All-in or Nothing tournament is just at the end of the first level, but it’s already well in hand and there have been several eliminations. Registration – which ends at the end of this level (in 15 minutes) – has climbed to 60 players and just 39 remain.

Tonight’s first side event – there are two events in addition to the Main Event this evening – is Event 8 – $100 + $10 No Limit Hold’em All-in or Nothing – and it will quite simply be an amazing thing to behold.

It’s just as crazy as it sounds. Players are limited to two possible actions – go all-in, or just fold the hand. And if someone is all-in before you, you can’t just call – you MUST go all-in over the top!

There are few guarantees in life, but one of them is that the All-in or Nothing will be a super-fun, super-fast event!

Cards are in the air now – we’ll get some photos quick before it’s all over!
