Skip work and play poker was the motto today for some entrants into the 7-Stud Limit Championship. Second place getter JamesScou let drop at the final table that his boss had been calling him for work, but he would make more money in this tournament than a day at work. Nice!
Another drawn out game of poker today, that ran close to 5 hours of play time. Familiar faces once again battling through the heat and crowds and making the top of the field, with Shomy21 a recent summer champs tournament winner placing in the final few.
The final battle lines were drawn between Jester3 a WPT seat winner and JamesScou a PokerCS.com championship event winner who was flagging work. A few all ins down the track and JamesScou went bust. Congratulations Jester3, well played.
For all you players who have played multiple games or placed well, keep an eye on the leader board, and keep playing for a place in the Tournament of Champions and the Summer Champs jackpot. Now estimated at $20,000!
Back to work now James?
What a great final table. Had my boss not been yelling at me to get into work when we got down to 3 people then I wouldn’t have panicked with a 3 to 1 chip lead going heads up, and I would have been able to play more patiently and take down the tournament, but a second place finish is still great against the type of players that were in the tournament. My congrats to Jester3 for the win, you played great. As for me, that’s my 3rd Summer champs final table overall. I’ve won 2 and come in 2nd once. Not a bad record. The Summer champs series is something I look forward to every year and has grown leaps and bounds every year. See you guys at the tables!!
