Pine Pienaar, Vicky Moodley and Gareth Duncan were the big winners at the Concept Poker 2020 Season reveal tourney in Maitland on Thursday evening.
They agreed on an equal share of the remaining prizes.
This fixture was the final friendly before the league officially starts next week Thursday, 13 Feb 2020.
We had 37 players entered into the tourney, who all got the opportunity to preview the Concept 2020 Season Explainer video. This video and official handbook – which holds all in the info around structures, fixture dates, prizes, home rules etc etc – will be shared with the group on Monday.
After the screening, there was some fun poker action as the players grinded to final table, all aiming for a piece of the R14 000 prize pool.
FINAL TABLE REPORT
9th place: Kersh Julie
Kersh struggled to find momentum with the ultra short stack, being forced all in on the big blind with K4. She was up against Gareth Duncan, who shipped over the top with AK ♦️ suited, and called by Vicky Moodley with pocket Jacks to make it a three-way pot. Gareth spikes two Aces to take down the pot.
8th place: Uri Hartuv
Uri Hartuv was coolered en route to exiting in 8th place. After shipping from the button with pocket Jacks, he ran into Vicky’a Aces in the big blind. The bigger pair held.
7th place: Alain Govender
Alain Govender had bad timing when he pushed all in with A9 from late position. He got called by Adam Morley in the big blind, and had the former dominated with A10. The 10 kicker played on a dry board.
6th place: Biran Beukes
Biran Beukes shoved all in with A6, and got called by Pine Pienaar, who had KJ. The King flopped, which was enough for the knockout.

4th place: Adam Morley
Adam Morley enjoyed a solid tournament run, but unfortunately got short on chips and pushed all in with A3. Pine woke up with KJ in the big blind and called. For a second time, he flopped the K, which was enough to beat the Ace rag.
