Earlier today saw the commencement of the Summer Champs tournament, with the first of 33 events kicking in to full swing. The Limit Holdem Championship format game saw a good turn out with 279 players hitting the tables to duke it out for over double the guaranteed prize pool, a considerable $5580. Now I don’t need to tell you that more players means more money means a bigger jackpot, and if the tournament continues the way it started we could see the jackpot surpassing a whopping $25000.
In the spirit of summer the final 2 players went head to head for a blistering 39 hands! Until SatanicMonkeywent all in on pocket 10’s before the turn only to be called by Scorpiossting chasing a 5 high inside straight draw. Either the sun or luck must have been shinning in his direction as Scorpiossting pulled through on the river with a 2 to claim victory with a 6 high straight draw. Congratulations to both players who both pocketed over $1000 each.
Indeed congratulations must go to all players who seated well and as usual the top seats were filled with some regular carbon poker names including DADuhWEEwah who placed 6th and Jazza32 who recently won a seat in the WSOP Carbon Poker bluff league.
Don’t forget to get in for tomorrows Omaha Pot Limit game and get your name on the leaderboard for your chance in the ‘Tournament of Champions’. Also don’t forget that winning a tournament game will score you an engraved commemorative carbon poker chip set!
