Action Begins, Final Table Now Underway
Jun 08, '12
The final table of Event no. 14 ($1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout) is now underway, and Card Player will be posting level-by-level updates with all of the action, current chip counts, and prize distributions.
The Shootout tournament features a different format than a traditional No-Limit Hold’em event in that players must win their table before moving on. As players win their individual tables, they take those chips with them to the next round where they must win another table and so on, until the final table is reached. Day 3 began with 12 players spread out over 2 tables, and with the elimination of Dylan Hortin in 10th Place ($17,544), the official 9-handed final table is now set. Play will begin in Level 2 with blinds of 4,000-8,000 with a 1,000 ante, and will continue until a winner is determined.
With cards now back in the air, here is a look at the final table and how these players match up:
Seat no. 1 — Michael Corson — 472,000
Seat no. 2 — Layne Flack — 1,400,000
Seat no. 3 — Adam Kagin — 237,000
Seat no. 4 — Jonathan Cohen — 541,000
Seat no. 5 — Justin Schwartz — 364,000
Seat no. 6 — Brandon Steven — 377,000
Seat no. 7 — David Chase — 420,000
Seat no. 8 — Jeff Madsen — 392,000
Seat no. 9 — Brandon Schaefer — 908,000
While only 9 remain, this event gathered 1,138 players, creating a total prize pool of $1,536,300. Here is a look at the final payouts:
1st Place — $311,174
2nd Place — $192,559
3rd Place — $120,329
4th Place — $87,446
5th Place — $64,555
