L.A. Poker Classic Through Event No. 3

The L.A. Poker Classic kicked off Thursday to an impressive crowd. Taking place in one of the biggest poker cities in the United States, event No. 1, a $300 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament, attracted 1,191 participants. The winner was Kimya Williams. He took home nearly $78,000 of the $347,000 prize pool.

Catering to all players of the game, the next two events were $300 buy-in non-no-limit hold’em tournaments. Event No. 2 was a limit hold’em event that boasted a field of 387 players. It generated a prize pool of just under $113,000. Robert Pacleb took home the first-place prize of a little more than $30,000.

Event No. 3 was an Omaha eight-or-better event. Stan Zdanowich outlasted the field of 358 players to win almost $29,000 for first. The total prize pool came to about $107,000. So far $566,286 has been awarded in prize-pool money.

Yesterday, a $300 buy-in no-limit hold’em rebuy event began, and it will finish up today. The event that starts today is a $500 buy-in seven-card stud tournament.
