"TryptophanMan" Wins PACOOP-30: $500 PLO [6-Max, High-Roller] for $8,712
It took just shy of five hours for PACOOP-30: $500 PLO [6-Max, High-Roller] $25K Gtd to see a title claimed. In total, 76 entries generated a prize pool of $35,720, exceeding its guaranteed prize pool by over 40% with the lion's share of $8,712 going to "TryptophanMan".
"TryptophanMan" used one of their three allotted re-entries after being eliminated during the three-hour late registration period, and rode a heater that left them atop the counts when registration closed. At that time, 24 remained with the top 11 set to make it into the money, a feat that would happen when none other than "TryptophanMan" burst the bubble to amass more than one-fourth of the chips in play with 11 remaining.
Thirty minutes later, "TryptophanMan" would once again be the one bursting the next bubble, eliminating "Lachoy14" in eighth place to bring the final table of seven.
