Tonight’s Win the Button event in the TonyBet Winter Festival attracted a total of 87 players and played out through over 7 hours of aggressive poker. One of the goals in an event like this is to gain and keep position (the button) as often as possible, which greatly encourages action.
Heads up play lasted just a few minutes. Denis Scott had a 4-1 chip lead going into 2-way play. In an early hand, Denis raised to 60K only to face a reraise all from Alexandre Boyer. Denis called, almost before Alexandre finished declaring his bet!
Denis Scott
Alexandre Boyer
Alexandre was dominated, and the board was not much help to him:
Congratulations, Denis!
Event 11 Champion: Denis Scott, $1,968.00
2nd place: Alexandre Boyer, $1,297.00
