5 players won prizes for the upcoming Montecasino Poker Series at Concept Social Poker Club on Sunday evening.
29 players showed up for the first satellite with the hopes of winning a chance to represent Team Cape Town at the exciting series next month.
And with a prize pool of R33 000, there were originally two packages (including accommodation and flights) and a voucher up for grabs.
However, the final 5 decided to share the spoils after a tough day of grinding.
This saw Tony Smoth, Imraan Khan, Cas du Toit and Misa Marinus earn R7000 vouchers, while Riyadh Slamang settled for R5000 with the shortstack.
Shortly before the deal, Misa scored a double knockout in fortunate circumstances.
There was a three-way all-in, which saw Reza Slamang (AK), Cliton Taliwanth (QQ) and Misa (JJ) in the pot with premium holdings. Flop ran 987, before Reza jumped ahead by spiking an Ace on the Turn. However, a 10 fell on the River to shoot Misa from last place to first with a straight.
Nathan Jacobus was out in 8th place as he gambled on the flopped flush draw with J9 ♥️ suited. However, he ran into Tony’s pocket 10s, which dodged the heart and held up.
WELL DONE WINNERS!
This week, we have an exciting live tournament for cash prizes on Thursday. Stay tuned for details.
Unfortunately, the Monte Freeroll Satellite will be rescheduled because of Father’s Day on Sunday.
