Event 3 was a $100 + $10 8-Max Re-entry tournament and attracted 88 entries, crushing the $5K guarantee. The 8-Max format is very popular among our players as it suggest slightly more aggressive play, as well as roomier tables.
The final table welcomed a few very capable players, including Mitcheal Ferguson who final tabled both finished events in the July Power Weekend. Stuart Taylor is also accustomed to deep runs, while Mathieu Hébert, despite having been away from the tables for a while is known at Playground Poker Club as a sound tournament player.
However, when the ICM chop was concluded, Stuart and Mathieu were out, while Mitcheal was crippled. Bruce Allali feasted on the final table until 4 players were left. Sébastien Éthier-Roy then ran up a good stack, but both of them got passed by Andrei Cernopolc, who led the event with 12 players left and ended up taking it down!
Congratulations to our winner and to Bruce Allali, who went home with the biggest money prize today!
Event 3 Champion: Andrei Cernopolc – $1,375
