]The final 54 players from the $220 NLHE were joined by another 286 for the $335 double stack today at the Commerce on Super Bowl Sunday. The high stakes area was as deserted as Sierra Madre bus station at midnight.
The winner of the $220 will pick up $100k in addition to a Monaco watch and a paperweight/doorstopper trophy.The leader was Carter Newhof in an event dominated by L.A. residents.Early eliminations today included Garrett Gruber who started with 149k.
Sad news: Vanna Tea one of my favourite characters on the L.A. tournament scene is leaving town to move to N.Cal. She is playing today so lets hope Mrs Tea is bagging up plenty of chips at the end of play.
Results :
1) Inh Vongvone $100k
2) Mel Tato $52k
3) Shawn Chang
4) Henry Noyes
5) Sami Rustom
