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 #19: $460 NLH Monolith drew 858 entries and offered up a $343,200 prize pool. Among those to get a piece of it were Ramesh Sekar (11th - $4,900), Reed Alenik (19th - $2,655), Chet Sickle (26th - $1,845), John Sheehan (34th - $1,555), Erland Logan (41st - $1,350), and Erik Holliday (53rd - $1,190).
In the end, Kameron Petsche emerged victorious to claim a $61,000 top prize. In addition to the large prize, Petsche also won a seat into the Main Event.
It marked the second win of the series for Petsche, who days earlier won Event #16: $160 Pot-Limit Omaha for a more modest $1,705.
