L.A. Poker Classic -- Preliminary Update Part IIIHighlight During Final Week of Preliminaries was a Chris Moore vs. Vivek Rajkumar Rematch for the $10,000 Heads-Up Championship |
|
The L.A. Poker Classic is coming to a close this week, and 48 of the 50 events have crowned a winner at this massive tournament series at Commerce Casino. The World Poker Tour $10,000 no-limit hold’em championship and WPT Celebrity Invitational will both conclude during the next two days, bringing an end to a successful tournament series that awarded millions of dollars to thousands of players. Here is one final look at the preliminary results from the L.A. Poker Classic.
The highlights from this week included an impressive rematch, wins by many professionals, and a third tournament win by the most consistent player of the tournament series. Al Barbieri (pictured left) won the $2,000 no-limit hold’em Ironman event and captured his third tournament title at the 2010 L.A. Poker Classic. Barbieri was awarded $59,030 for the victory, which brought his total winnings for the series up to $136,100 spread out over five cashes.
Other notable professionals who won preliminary events during the final week of play at the L.A. Poker Classic included Jonathan Aguiar, Ryan Hughes, Matt Brady, Owen Crowe, Chris Moore, and Scott Seiver. The biggest prize was awarded to Seiver ($25,300) for his win in the $25,000 high no-limit hold’em event, but the most impressive win was captured by Moore.
He made the final of the $10,000 heads-up no-limit hold’em championship for a second year in a row where he faced the same opponent (Vivek Rajkumar) as one year ago in the finals. This time around, Moore beat Rajkumar to win the top prize worth $147,200, and their heads-up final gave everyone in the room a feeling of déjà vu as they battled for the heads-up crown.
