New Season, New Champ

The Winter 2025 Season got off to a fast start with our biggest turnout yet. 59 players showed up (35 first timers) to take a stab at replenishing some of the money spent on the holidays and action was fast and furious. There were 14 rebuys, bringing the total number of entries up to 73 and creating a prize pool over $3,500. Tim Mo. improved on his performance from the week before, taking down the win and an early lead on the Season Points Leaderboard. Adam De. (Binghamton, NY) took down second after agreeing to chop the money and play for the points. Adam and Tim took home $940 each, not too shabby for a $60 investment.

Cody Be. (Windsor, NY) was our third place finisher, working a short stack through most of the final table to pocket $455. Familiar face Sharon Va. finished fourth overall for $365 and Jimmy Fa. (Binghamton, NY) went out in 5th place for $280. Newcomer Matt Had. (Candor, NY) was the 6th place finisher, picking up $220 while the second place overall finisher in the Fall 2024 Season, Kevin Du. (Greene, NY) brought that momentum into 2025, finishing in 7th place and pocketing $180. Last week’s winner Justin Pi. (Greene, NY) continued cashing, taking down 8th place and $145. Newcomers Frank Ge. (Waverly, NY) and John Wo. (Owego, NY) were eliminated on the same hand, splitting the 9th place money and taking home $62 each.

The massive turnout for this event contributed $365 to the Season Points Leaderboard and another $365 toward the Winter 2025 Championship Event. The total amount in both of these prize pools in the Fall 2024 Season was $1,735 each and with seven events left to go, we are on pace to double that amount! Be sure to join us next week, January 11th at 5 PM for your shot at some of this cash!!
