Popular Streamer Mason Pye Wins HORSE Event

Popular streamer Mason “pyefacepoker” Pye hasnтАЩt been online for two weeks now on his Twitch channel and he has a really good reason for it as heтАЩs attending EPT in Barcelona. Whoever follows Pye knows heтАЩs a mixed games specialist so rather than playing the тВм5,300 Main Event, he attended тВм1,100 8-Game Championship tournament and тВм550 HORSE, which he jokingly called the REAL Main Event.

145 players entered the HORSE event on Thursday, generating тВм69,600 prize pool with тВм17,290 reserved for 1^st place. Day 1 finished at 6 oтАЩclock in the morning after more than 14 hours of play and after the trio of remaining players – Mason Pye, Viljami Rapinoja and Robert Kaggerud agreed to pause the tournament and restart later at 2:30pm.

Mason, who is also member of PokerStars Team Pro, was the current chip leader, which he extended when the game resumed with Omaha orbit. First one to go was FinlandтАЩs Rapinoja in Razz, taking home тВм7,720 for his efforts.

Norwegian Kaggerud was a big dog in heads-up but managed to double up quickly. Mason didnтАЩt give him any more chances than that and it was all over only few hands later in Stud round, where he beat RobertтАЩs pocket aces with two pair of eight and threes. тВм10,810 money prize for runner-up and тВм17,290 in the pockets of Mason Pye who started celebrating with his group of friends.

“This is also the first EPT festival that IтАЩve played at,” Pye says. “I played the тВм1K 8-Game at the start of the series and dusted two bullets, then I had to wait 10 days for this event because I donтАЩt really play holdтАЩem. Now here we are!”

“This whole event was so much fun. There was so much table chatter, so many people coming from a holdтАЩem background with no idea how to play, which is good, but itтАЩs also nice to teach them and show them the ropes. I think everyone enjoyed it. Hopefully, we see more of them at EPT London.”
