After Jordan Fafard Miraglia was eliminated in 4th place, the three remaining players decided to make a deal. Leaving the required $300 up top for the eventual winner, as well as a Playground Poker Spring Classic bracelet, the players took the following portion of the prizepool each, based on their chip counts:
- Arthur Walker – $3,900
- Joey Silver – $3,000
- Desi Miller- $3,000
On the first hand after the deal, Arthur ( 
) eliminated Joey ( 
) by spiking an ace on the 
board. Only two hands later, it was Desi who was all-in and at risk, and his 
failed to improve versus Arthurs’ 
, crowning Arthur as our Event 9 champion!
Congratulations!
Event 9 Champion: Arthur Walker – $4,200
Event 9 Runner-Up: Desi Miller – $3,000
