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.
The
APAT World Championship Of Amateur Poker (WCOAP) has reached the halfway stage and the big results just keep on coming. This is whatâs gone on in the WCOAP over the past couple of days.
