One big winner from the PokerStars Ontario Patio Poker Week was poker pro Arlie Shaban! The week-long turbo series culminated w/ a $100 NLHE PKO Main Event!
$3,942
Veteran player “BonBon” Weitzel made her trip to Las Vegas for the LIPS Ladies Poker Week pay off early, claiming the title in one of the week’s first events, which are spread across four different Vegas casinos. Weitzel, a native of Texarkana, Texas, had a commanding chip lead when players at the final table decided to chop. The unusual part of the chop was that while Weitzel claimed first-place money, the other seven remaining players agreed to equally chop the remaining prize money for spots two through eight, giving them each about $1,429 (or about a third-place payday). Weitzel’s $3,942 cash is the largest of her career.
