"RealizeRealLies" Takes Down Event #10-H: $200 Super Tuesday

PASCOOP Event 10 final hand

It was Super Tuesday time and Event #10-H: $200 NLHE (Super Tuesday SE), $35K GTD was a crowded affair as 178 players and 80 re-entries cooked up a $47,988 prize pool. After five-and-a-half hours of play, including a turbo-charged final table, "RealizeRealLies" was the victor and took home $8,244.50 after a heads-up deal with runner-up "WHATWHYNO".

"WHATWHYNO", who took $7,882.71 out of the heads-up deal, was part of the reason the final table went so swiftly, as they took out five of the nine final table participants, including a double knockout of "MartyK7450" and "PurePleasure12" to bring the field down to three in a hurry.

"RealizeRealLies" then took the reins and finished off "dabigquk1" in third before waking up with kings and dispatching "WHATWHYNO" and their king-nine in second.
