Slick Nick Prevails!!!

Another Tuesday, another poker tournament, another huge turnout and another champion! We had 68 players come out on Tuesday night and fire 69 rebuys along with a slew of add-ons. With 137 total entries, we were set to pay out our $3,260 prize pool to the top 14 finishers.

With two tables and 15 players left, hand for hand play started. We got one hand in before the break and one hand in after the break before the bubble burst with Jacob Stu. (Liverpool, NY) claimed the distinction everyone wants to avoid, bubble boy. Once the bubble burst, chips kept flying with Mike Att. (Scranton, PA) exiting with a 14th place finish for $60. This was Mike’s second Tuesday Night cash of the year. Dave O’N. (Port Crane, NY) followed Mike to the payout desk with a 13th place finish, also collecting $60. This marked Dave’s eighth Tuesday Night cash of the year.

With a pay jump secured, Jack Mal. (Binghamton University) locked up his third Tuesday Night cash of the year with a 12th place finish worth $75. Jack Gom. (Scranton, PA) was the next finisher, picking up $75 for his 11th place finish and his seventh Tuesday Night cash of the year. Ed Leo. (Binghamton, NY) just missed a final table appearance with a 10th place finish worth $75. This marks Ed’s nineth Tuesday Night cash of the year.

After a redraw for final table seating (and an extended break) the remaining nine players fired it back up with Joe Sod. (Brackney, PA) becoming the first final table casualty. Joe’s 9th place finish earned him $95 for his second Tuesday Night cash of the year. Nancy Ree. (Binghamton, NY) logged her fifteenth Tuesday Night cash of the year (tied for second most) with an 8th place finish for $115. Rob McL. (Binghamton, NY) finished in 7th place, collecting $135 for his thirteenth Tuesday Night cash of the year.

Rich Inm. (Binghamton, NY) made a return to the payout desk with a 6th place finish, collecting $160. This was Rich’s sixth Tuesday Night cash of the year. Jason Mun. (Endwell, NY) posted his second and best Tuesday Night cash with a 5th place finish worth $195. Pat Rei. (Deposit, NY) fresh off of a one month poker break, posted his second straight Tuesday Night cash with a 4th place finish and a $260 payday. This was Pat’s tenth Tuesday Night cash of the year.

Keller (Little Meadows, PA) bowed out in 3rd place, picking up $385. This was Keller’s second straight Tuesday Night cash and his fifth of the year. Heads up play began with newcomer Troy Sch. (Binghamton, NY) facing a significant chip deficit against grizzled veteran Nick Bab. (Cortland, NY). Troy put up a good fight but fell short, exiting in 2nd place and taking home $585 in his first tournament at 607poker.com. This left Nick sitting with all of the chips and a $1,000 payout for his 1st place finish. This was Nick’s nineth Tuesday Night cash of the year and his second outright win in a 607poker.com event. Excellent work Nick!!!!
