Joe Brindle Captures Second Title of RIU Reno VIII
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Earlier in the series, the UK’s Joe Brindle won the $125 6-Max Triple Stud for $1,627. On Sunday night, he also navigated an 83-entry field to win the $125 Taiwanese Poker Double Board tournament for $2,460 and his second victory of the series.
Not only did he become the only two-time winner at the RIU Reno VIII, he became an overall three-time champ to tie him in second place with Jason Daniele and Andrew Cha for most titles in RIU Reno history (Jimmy Cappucci holds the record with six wins).
Among those to cash the Taiwanese tournament were Jesse Capps (17th - $200), Stanley Wang (10th - $250), Steven Filipovic (7th - $410), DJ Fenton (4th - $845), Bill Butcher (3rd - $1,100), and Valerie Perea (2nd - $1,580).
