Rolando Barron Knocks Out the Competition in Event #21
Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
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 #21: $160 NLH Knockout had 77 entrants compete for a $10,010 prize pool, which included bounties. The tournament ended in a four-way deal that saw Rolando Barron crowned champ for $1,277.
