The WCOAP Main Event drew in a crowd of 1,751 players to
partypoker, each paying $109 for the chance to become the tournamentâs champion. This field meant the $150,000 guaranteed prize pool was surpassed by $21,500, which is an incredible result for amateur poker.
Nobody at the final table walked away with less than $2,116 for the initial investment.
Julian Selinger collected this sum when his 6.5 big blind shove with pocket deuces was called by
Shane Pollington in the big blind with ace-ten. An ace on the river busted Selinger in ninth place.
Stephen Prandstatter was the next player to fall. He committed his last six big blinds with ace-king and ultimately lost to Blyeâs pair of twos in the hole that flopped a full house courtesy of the flop falling all sixes.
