Todd Oakley was in the driver’s seat for all of heads up, and while Nicholas Peterson was able to score a couple of doubles, he never managed to get into the lead. When the final hand came in, Oakley was at about a 9:2 lead in chips, and when Peterson flopped a pair and a flush draw, his money went in.
Oakley was an open-ended draw with backdoor clubs, and he turned the straight as his backdoor draw came around front, and then he rivered the clubs just to be certain.
This was Oakley’s 5th live win, and second of the year, after he took down the opening multi-day event in the most recent series in Calgary. That score was worth $20k, and the second-biggest score of his career behind a win from 2024. This win tonight will easily cap both of those (combined) and will push his lifetime earnings well above $100k.
