Max Pressure!!!

Thursday Night we ran a $30 buy-in No Limit Texas Hold Em tournament with rebuys and add-ons. 45 players showed up and fired an additional 45 rebuys. After the add-ons were done, we hade a prize pool of $3,530 to be paid to our top 9 finishers.

We hit the final table, only to have Dolly Ril. (Binghamton, NY) bow out first. Dolly’s 9th place finish earned her $90. Newcomer Bryan Li followed Dolly to the payout desk, picking up $125 for his 8th place finish. Zawadi Yeb. (Johnson City, NY) built a big stack early and coasted to the final table before the run good ran out. Zawadi took home $160 for her 7th place finish.

Jeremy Wri. (Deposit, NY) posted an impressive final table appearance with a 6th place finish worth $200. Colin Mor. (Cortland, NY) fired the first rebuy of the night but bounced back nicely with a 5th place finish that earned him $250. Skuyler Rey. (Binghamton, NY) posted his first cash at 607poker.com, finishing in 4th place and collecting $340.

Gus Van. (Binghamton, NY) battled through a health issue to post a 3rd place finish, pocketing $490. This left Scott Str. (Port Crane, NY) battling Max Spe. (Queens, NY). Both players were in search of their first outright victory at 607poker.com so a chop was thrown out the window. Scott fell just short of his goal, exiting in 2nd place and picking up $775. This left Max with all of the chips and an impressive victory. Max collected $1,100 for his first victory at 607poker.com, potentially delaying his much discussed retirement from tournament poker. Nice work Max!!!
