Dave S. Wins Event #3: $220 Pot-Limit Omaha (CAD $4,532)
Dave S bested a field of 78 players to win Event #3: CAD $220 Pot-Limit Omaha and took home CAD $4,532 as part of a deal me made with second place finisher, Steve Daraiche.

flop and checked. The turn was the 
and Daraiche went all in for his remaining 75,000. Dave S. called with

Dave S. didn't want to be photographed for the winner photo, so instead his hat, trophy, and chip stack got all the glory.
