Abdulaziz Alaquil
Abdulaziz Alaquil

After all three players in the hand checked on the flop of {9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, Abdulaziz Alaquil bet 25,000 on the {a-Spades} turn. Martin Verdeggal min raised to 50,000 from the small blind, and Sasha Sabbaghian cold called on the big blind. Alaquil also called.

All three players checked through the {j-Spades} river, and Alaquil took down the pot with {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, which was good against Sabbaghian's {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Verdeggal's {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

While the Ante Up World Championship $1,650 Main Event is the premier tournament on the schedule, it’s far from the only one. In fact, the tour has been at Thunder Valley since early July hosting a slew of side events.

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team wasn’t on hand to capture the action from those events, but we still wanted to offer fans a brief look at all those who’ve captured titles during the Ante Up World Championship.

For example, Event #11: $160 NLH Seniors Championship drew 257 runners and created a $33,410 prize pool. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Lora Stewart (12th - $645), Ronen Joseph (15th - $550), Charlton Atwood (18th - $465), Edward Scott (24th - $300), and Tom Fancher (33rd - $230).

In the end, Michael McGonigle defeated Michael Cerezo in heads-up play to win the title and $7,605 first-place prize.
