Patrik Hoffman Wins Fall Poker Classic Event #1: $360 Mystery Bounty
While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the $1,100 Main Event, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about some of the side events that have taken place out over the past week at the Winter Poker Classic.
In Event #1: $360 NLH Mystery Bounty, 1,181 runners created a $234,700 prize pool + $118,100 in bounties that was paid out to the top 128 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were MSPT Hall of Famer Rob Wazwaz (122nd - $421), Alex Winter (86th - $538), DJ Buckley (32nd - $1,007), MSPT Hall of Famer Jason Seitz (22nd - $1,570), and Jonathan Kim (10th - $26,312).
In the end, it was Minnesota native Patrik Hoffman who collected every chip in play to capture the WPC trophy, along with the first-place $41,694 payday.
