Event #1 in the October Power Weekend was a $100 + $10 8-Max Re-entry. 72 entries joined the tourney, and 9 players got paid. It took about 6 hours to get to the final table, but the final 9 got it done in just an hour and a half!
When Michael Zenetzis left in 3rd, heads up play was between Anderson F and Mike Lafable. The pair have played together for the longest time right here at Playground, but today they found that they are also frequent opponents on the virtual felts!
Anderson, reportedly, worked his way into this tournament from a centroll that cost him 0.21$! From there, he worked his way through 4 levels of feeders to get the PP LIVE Dollars that he used to buy into the first event of the Power Weekend. What a parlay!
The duel did not last very long. Zenetzis had barely left the room when the two got it in. Mike flatted the button. Anderson raised him to 55K, which was met by a 200K 3-bet. An all-in and a snap call followed, and the showdown was the classic of all classic races. You already know what the cards were, but you can confirm your guess by scrolling down!
Anderson called for an ace in the window, rooting for his opponent, and it came! Mike was thus able to add $250 to the $1,550 he had booked in the deal the players made earlier.
Congratulations!
