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.

Tran Wins Race for Double

Level 3 : 200/200, 300 ante
Andy Tran
Andy Tran

A series of preflop raises saw Andy Tran get his 18,300 stack in the middle from early position and Chou Yang called from sitting directly to his left.

Andy Tran: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Chou Yang: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

It was a classic race with Tran looking to connect with either of his two overs and luckily for him, the sweat didn't last long as an ace appeared in the window on the {3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop.

The {7-Clubs} turn didn't change a thing nor did the {5-Diamonds} river and Tran collected his double-up.

Eelkema Calls Correctly

Level 3 : 200/200, 300 ante
Eric Eelkema
Eric Eelkema

Frank Cerminara raised from early position only to have Eric Eelkema three-bet to 1,000 directly to his left.

Eelkema found two callers which included Cerminara and the {8-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop was checked around to the {6-Clubs} turn.

Cerminara led out for 2,000 and only Eelkema called to see the {9-Clubs} complete the board on the river. Cerminara fired out another bet of 3,000 and Eelkema looked him up.

Cerminara rolled over {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for nines and threes but it was no good as Eelkema showed {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} to win the pot with jacks and nines.
