Early Tuesday afternoon, 64 players took a seat inside Playground Poker Club for the 10th event of the World Cup of Cards. The $110 Dealer's Choice 8-Max was on the agenda and there was at least $3,000 guaranteed.
Each hand the player on the button selected the game type for that hand. The choices were no-limit hold'em, pot-limit hold'em, pot-limit omaha, 5-card PLO, no-limit pineapple, and no-limit crazy pineapple.
When registration closed a total of $6,208 was up for grabs and the top seven spots would get their slice. When the final table of eight was formed however, they all agreed to ay the bubble $20 each. Dave Jeanneau-Cyr took the chip lead into the final table and did not relinquish it for a single hand on his way to capturing the champion's trophy and a top prize of $2,038.
Here is a breakdown of the prize money distribution:
| Place | Name | Prize (CAD) |

| 2 | Marcello Simonetti | $1,410 |

| 4 | Jennifer Brooks | $700 |
| 5 | Vasilios Sklavounos | $490 |
| 6 | Jason Conforti | $340 |

On the final hand, Marcello Simonetti chose 5-card PLO and raised all-in preflop on the button. Jeanneau-Cyr called from the big blind. Simonetti tabled 
but was behind Jeanneau-Cyr's 
. Jeanneau-Cyr was ahead with his pair of sixes and just needed to fade the five community cards to win it all. The dealer patted the table and delivered a 
board. Jeanneau-Cyr's hand held up, eliminating Simonettie in second place.
Jeanneau-Cyr busted Glen Hammers just moments before in a 5-card PLO hand as well. On a 
board, Hammers got all-in and was put at risk by Jeanneau-Cyr. Hammers had 
finding himself miles behind the
