Event 2 Champion: Christopher B

Heads-up play didn’t last very long in Event 2, as moments after it began both players found themselves in an all-in race. Christopher B finished with the better hand, as his King of Spades Queen of Diamonds outflopped the 9 of Spades 9 of Hearts of V.L. to crown him champion of Event 2. He took home $4,892, as well as a Playground Poker Spring Classic bracelet for his efforts!

Congratulations!

    Devon Morgan was sitting on less than 6 big blinds when he moved in from the button in an unopened pot. Unfortunately for him, his King of Hearts 5 of Hearts was crushed by the King of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds of V. L.. Even more unfortunate for Devon was the fact that V. flopped the nuts on the 10 of Diamonds Ace of Diamonds 9 of Diamonds 10 of Spades 6 of Diamonds board.

    10th place: Devon Morgan – $575
