David Para Victorious in Event #2: $150 NLH w/ $50 Bounties
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
The $550 Main Event at Jamul Casino may be the capstone tournament of the Ante Up Poker Tour stop, but it isn’t the only event that’s taken place. There have been a slew of side tournaments, and we thought we’d take a quick look at each.
For instance, in the Ante Up Sweetwater Series Event #2: $150 NLH w/ $50 Bounties, 34 entrants created a $2,550 prize pool with $1,700 being paid out in bounties.
Only the top five got paid including Neil Rodvold (5th - $204), Sandor Molnar (4th - $281), and Juan Boner (3rd - $383).
In the end the title came down to David Para and Ronald Segni with the former ultimately coming out on top to win a $1,040 top prize. Segni had to settle for second place and $638 in prize money.

| 2 | Ronald Segni | $638 |
| 3 | Juan Boner | $383 |
| 4 | Sandor Molnar | $281 |
