Championship Quotes
Championship Event
$3300 + $200 NL
Alex Queen - $355,535
1st Place - Alex Queen "I entered the day with a 106 thousand at 5k-10k. I was 27 out of 27 and I just played my game. I know how to play short stack poker. I kept winning pots and then once I got to the final table I just chipped up and that's all she wrote. It really hasn't hit me yet at all, I mean a little bit more now, but it feels really good. It's indescribable, I can't, it's amazing.
2nd Place - Jason "Asian J" Min "This is very redeeming and rewarding to see that all of my hard work has paid off. It's been a long time coming. I'm primarily a cash game player and I've been told I need to play in more tournaments and now I see why."
3rd Place - Dan Hindin "Definitely an amazing experience. This is my first big cash in a live no-limit tournament. I'm thrilled with the results. I've down well in pot limit Omaha, but I wanted to go deep and make a final table of a no limit tournament."
