“I Didn’t Even Have to Move,” Jokes Zachary York as He Takes Home Event #2: $340 PLO/NLH Mixed
In his first PPT series ever, Zachary York soared to the occasion to take home his first trophy and biggest cash. He bested the 81 player field putting on a clinic as he found elimination after elimination on the final table. Cameron Stew battled back to take the chip lead.
Much like Thanos in Infinity War, York was inevitable. He regained the chip lead and never looked back. Eventually he got it in as the favourite with the better ace high and held to take the trophy. Many familiar faces made deep runs such as Glyn Gracias, and former event winner Stefan Maloney.

Mixed Poker on the Side for Opening Day
Event 2: $340 NLH/PLO Mixed ($300+$40) Date: May 15, 4 PM Blinds: 30 Minutes Starting Stack: 25k Late Entry: 8 Levels (~8:30 PM) Day 1 Ends: One-Day Event The side event on Opening Day is mixed-game poker. Levels alternate between no limit hold’em (odd levels) and pot limit Omaha (even levels) for the duration of the game.
Side-game action gets going at 4 PM, and entries are open for 8 levels of play. Including breaks, that should put the last chance to enter the game at about 8:30 PM. Players get 25k in chips for their buy-in and play levels that are 30 minutes long throughout the night (20 minutes heads up).
This will be the second priority for Alek on opening day. He’ll be focusing on the Seniors game to start (and hopefully following me through to my first live win), but will move over to cover the endgame of this one once I win the 50+ trophy.
