Jorie Polokoff Wins Event 13 ($240 NLHE Escalator)

by

Event 13 started earlier today and has already reached a conclusion. How did it go so quickly? Because it was a $240 buy-in no-limit hold’em “Escalator” tournament.

The first level was just three minutes long, the second level was six minutes long, the third level was nine minutes long, and so on, adding three minutes to each level until they reach one hour in duration.

When the field got down to the final seven players, they agreed to a straight 7-way chop, with Jorie Polokoff taking the trophy.

1st:  Jorie Polokoff  –  $2,014
2nd:  Francis Garcia  –  $2,014
3rd:  Susanna Braman  –  $2,014
4th:  Timothy O’Dell  –  $2,014

Event 7 ($560 NLHE): Chino Rheem Out Before the Dinner Break

by

The field is down below 200 players as the 40-minute dinner break is about to start in a couple of minutes. Action is scheduled to resume shortly after 7:50 pm ET.

Recent chipleader Chino Rheem had a dramatic reversal of fortune after the Money Bubble, as he is now in the payout line with the other eliminated players. So we will have a new chipleader.

Some of Rheem’s chips may have ended up in the stack of Bryan Campanello, who is now up over 1 million.

Event 10 ($240 HORSE) Ends in a 5-Way Chop

by

While the Money Bubble was in progress in the massive field for Event 7, Event 10 ($240 HORSE) quietly came to an end with a five-way chop.

Chipleader Jason Like was awarded the trophy and $4,999 in prize money.

It may be a while before we can provide more details of who finished where, because the payout desk is currently swamped with the flurry of bustouts from Event 7. We’ll get the data and post it here as soon as things calm down a bit for the tournament staff.

Correction: There was some miscommunication in the results earlier, but they’ve been corrected.
