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.
