Rauchut & Wiggins Bank Big in Event #1
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
Today's Ante Up Poker Tour Main Event in the Silks Poker Room at Tampa Bay Downs is the culmination of a six-event series that's been taking place all week long.
Things kicked off on Monday with EVENT #1: $160 No-Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD), a tournament that drew 176 entrants and more than doubled the guarantee by creating a $21,472 prize pool.
Some players to cash Event #1 but fail to make the final table were Susan Berman (11th - $418), K.C. Knoch (13th - $344), Sean Turow (16th - $288), and Bob Kelly (18th - $288).
The tournament ultimately came to an end when the final six players agreed to a chop. As a result of it, Steve Rauchut and Casey Wiggins finished first and second for $3,750 apiece.
