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 has 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 #4: $100 Omaha 8 or Better, 57 entrants created a $4,560 prize pool (nearly double the $2,500 GTD) that was paid out to the top eight players.
A four-way deal was struck that ultimately saw Eric Bradford claim the title and $1,029 in prize money. Here’s a look at all those who cashed.
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eric Bradford | $1,029 |
| 2 | Tavish Margers | $980 |
| 3 | Emmanuel Sigarroa | $893 |
| 4 | Payam Adhami | $619 |
| 5 | Richard Kuck | $319 |
| 6 | Michael Tigson | $251 |
| 7 | Michael O'Brien | $205 |
| 8 | Conrado Parker | $164 |
| 9 | Derrick Herron | $100 |
