Shawn Daigle takes down Event #26 for his second World Cup of Cards Trophy at Playground Poker Club. He took home $1,438 for first, after a deal that paid the bubble $100 from the first prize. He had some trouble closing out the tournament and eventually eliminated Marc-Oliver Crete in second place to win his second WCC tournament. He is the only player to win multiple WCC tournaments except for Dave Jeanneau-Cyr who has won four. Here is a look at the payouts for Event #26.
| Name | Prize (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Shawn Daigle | 1,438 |
| Marc - Oliver Crete | 1,030 |
| Frederic Breton | 700 |
| Chad Coombs | 470 |
| Glen Hammers | 320 |
| Jean-Philippe Tremblay | 210 |
| Borislav Angelov | 100 |
During the heads up portion of the tournament Daigle enjoye a huge chip lead, but couldn't win in at least 13 all ins against Crete.
"It's a good thing this isn't no-limit because I am fucking tilted," said Daigle after the ninth attempt at eliminating his opponent.
Eventuallly though, Daigle was able to finish off Crete when the two were all in. Daigle had ace-four and hit an ace on the flop. Crete had king-ten and couldn't catch up. Daigle booked his second WCC tourament.
The tournament drew 44 players and Daigle outlasted the field to claim the $1,438 prize. This is the second to last day of the World Cup of Cards at Playground Poker Club, with two new events tomorrow and the conclusion of the Quantum No-Limit Hold Em tournament.

The only limit hold em tournament of the World Cup of Cards got 44 entries and 38 are left.
First place is $1,540 and the sixth place finisher will get $210.
As a testament to the players at Playground Poker Club, they are eager to play all the tournaments that Playground Poker has to offer.
Today's tournament is a limit hold em tournament and a few of the players just joined without realizing it. The staff has been very accommodating and is continually helping players who didn't know, with bet sizing. In general, it has brought a bunch of laughs and people seem to be having a good time.
With only one day left in the World Cup of Cards, Playground Poker Club offers yet another poker variation. Today's event is Limit Hold em. As with most of the WCC 1-day tournaments, the levels are 20 minutes long. Each player will start with 15,000 and play until there is a winner.
This tournament has a $3,000 Guarantee, but the 1-day events of the WCC have routinely beat their guarantees within a few minutes of the tournament starting.
This is Event #26 of the World Cup of Cards, which has one more day left before the festival finishes up with the finale of the Quantum No-Limit Hold em tournament.
