Event 8 was our second PLO Event in the Playground Poker Spring Classic, this time in its 5-card variation. 51 players joined the Event, 14 of which opted to re-enter when they ran out of chips, for a total of 65 entries. Players battled hard, with the whole deck out.
Ivan Driard, the winner of our previous PLO Event (last Tuesday), got 6th place, claiming the best PLO combined results in this series, while Ben Menache, another local cash player, placed in 5th.
The Heads-up match was an all-Simon affair. Simon Pin-Disle is an experienced local player, and his crushing chip lead, along with his poker skills, were going to make things really hard for Simon Assouline. In just a few hands time, Pin-Disle had the best him.
Simon ”Mr. Poisson” Pin-Disle won the first all-in hand of the match, and with it the tournament.
Congratulations!
The $300 + $30 PL 5-Card Omaha Champion: Simon Pin-Disle – $8,065.00
Runner-up: Simon Assouline – $4,000.00
