Ireland suffered a blow to their Six Nations title hopes on Thursday as prop Andrew Porter was ruled out of their final two matches due to an ankle injury.
Neither Drake nor Cheng had much in the way of recorded live cashes according to
The Hendon Mob, with a total of about $30K between them, nearly all of that attributed to Drake. Neither player had any live wins of any sort, at least as far as recorded tournaments go.
Others cashing among the 100 paid spots included
Jeff Trudeau Jr., Mark Hodge, Damon Ferrante, James Poper and
Raminder Singh, who just missed the final table with a 14th-place finish.
Overall the event had to be considered a success for the property. While it s far from the 4,000 entries that have packed a similar event in the Hollywood property a few years back, drawing almost 1,000 is no mean feat these days especially with a cap of 30 active tables. The prize pool of $513,970 was miles above the token $150K guarantee.
