Andy Pokrivnak is a regular at Run It Up Reno, but one thing that escaped him during early visits was a RIU title. That changed on Sunday night when he topped an 83-entry field to win the $340 buy-in, $20K GTD Short Deck Championship.
The $24,153 prize pool was paid out to the top 13 players including Donnie McCormick (13th - $600), Frank Lagodich (10th - $960), Nathan Manuel (6th - $1,665), and Jason Pease (3rd - $2,840).
In the end the title came down to Pokrivnak and Mark Mazza, with the former ultimately getting the monkey off his back to capture the title and $5,083 first-place prize.
