Jordan Banfield Wins PKO for $2,923 + $3,300 in Bounties
It was quite the marathon in the PKO game. Despite the smaller-than-expected field, it still took more than 10 hours to decide the winner tonight, with heads up between Weston Pring and Jordan Banfield lasting for several levels.
Both players were all in at risk during the HU play, with each player securing a double to stay alive, but HU was pretty cagey between them. Most of the pots were raise and take it spots, with a few hands going to a board but generally not to showdown.
In the final hand, Banfield shoved his button with ace-eight and Pring agonized over the call. He finally decided it was time and ended up in a race between pocket fours and Banfield’s ace-eight. Banfield found two more aces on the board while the fours bricked for Pring. Banfield got $2,923 for the win plus $2,350 from the final two bounties in addition to the $950 he collected earlier in the evening.

Weston Pring It was a battle heads up between Weston Pring and Jordan Banfield, but in the end, Pring fell just short of the win. Both he and Banfield were all in, at risk during heads up with both securing doubles to stay alive.
In the end, it came down to a coin flip between pocket fours for Pring and ace-eight for Banfield. There was an ace on the flop and another on the turn to give Banfield the big lead. Pring needed a four on the river to stay alive, but he bricked to finish in second place tonight.

Pring limp-called preflop when Banfield raised to 45k. They both checked the 6♠8♥9♣ flop but Banfield led for 25k on the A♣ turn. Pring called to the [invalid notations] river, but when Banfield fired 100k, Pring shoved the covering stack and forced the fold from Banfield.

Lillemo fired 40k on the A♥6♠5♥ flop and Banfield called, but when Lillemo went to 70k on the 4♦ turn, Banfield’s cards hit the muck.
Banfield is the leader with more than 400k while Lillemo has about 360k as does Weston Pring.
