Daniel Kwon came close to winning a bracelet just a few nights ago, as he placed 3rd in Event 2 of this Playground Poker Spring Classic. He was disappointed in not taking it home back then, and it was quite evident that he was determined to not let that happen again tonight. When play was 4-handed, he found himself 1 card away from victory, as he held all three other players on the brink of elimination with his pocket pair of KK. Unfortunately for him, Alexandre Douville ran a flush to win the pot, bringing the tournament down to heads-up.
Daniel started the heads-up match holding only 15% of the chips in play, but quickly took over the chip lead to eventually knock Alexandre out, making him our Event 6 champion! This victory credited him a total 1st prize of $3,342, and also awarded him the Playground Poker Spring Classic bracelet he was so determined to win!
In addition to his win, Daniel was also our “Bounty Hunter” of the night, as he collected the most bounties of the night, racking in a total of 11 bounty chips (including his own, which he gets to cash in as well), worth an extra $1,100 in cash! Sean Windover, who was part of the 6-way deal, was second in bounty chips, as he collected 9 of them to pocket $900 cash.
Congratulations!
Event 6 Champion: Daniel Kwon – $3,342
Event 6 Runner-up: Alexandre Douville – $2,900
