Saturday Survivors

We ran our third straight Saturday doubleheader, the second event was a $75 buy-in Survivor Tournament. We had 32 players take their shot, 15 of them firing a second bullet to try and get there. With 47 total entries, the top 4 finishers were set up to collect $700 each and our 5th place finisher would get the remaining $490 in the prize pool.

Even with 20 minute levels, players were eliminate quickly and we found ourselves with six players remaining but only five stops receiving money. Scott Tho. (Conklin, NY) had the misfortune to be our 6th place finisher and bubble boy. Ben Cab. (Binghamton, NY) was the first player heading to the payout desk. After a few weeks away from the felt, Ben picked the right time to return, collecting $490 for his 5th place finish.

This left us with Lucas Har. (Owego, NY), Rich Inm. (Binghamton, NY), Scott Str. (Port Crane, NY) and Jake Gel. (Corning, NY) as our four survivors, each taking home $700 for their efforts. For Rich this was two top finishes in the same week. Lucas won the Binghamton University Poker Club Season Championship earlier in the day. Scott & Jake made this their second cash of the day, both finishing in the round of 8 in the Heads Up Championship.

Congrats to all of our money finishers!!
