Christina Wins her First PPC Event, Leads POY Standings

Fifteen players (including three making their season debut) convened for the Pinnacle Poker Club’s Deepstack Championship to compete for a portion of our record-breaking $680 prize pool (along with a pile of points for 2024 Player of the Year). With three tables in action, and 50,000 chips in each player’s starting stack, the result was yet another first-time tournament winner, a new leader in the POY race, and some shakeups throughout the leaderboard.

Kara gets first PPC win, as she and Chris win PPC’s first tag-team event with record-setting heads-up battle

After some last-minute cancellations due to illness, four teams convened for the Pinnacle Poker Club’s first ever tag-team event. The smaller field, deeper stacks, and slower blind structure created lots of action throughout the night, while the tag-team structure led to some interesting strategic decisions: two teams allowed one hot player to play as many levels as possible, while the other two switched players more or less evenly throughout the night.

PPC Crowns First 2024 Winner in Action-Packed Season Opener

We had two full tables in action at the Pinnacle Poker Club’s season-opening event, as 16 players (including 5 of last year’s regular-season winners) vied for the title of 2024 Unlimited Re-Entry Champion. Despite the unlimited re-entry format, and the shorter-than-usual starting stacks, we saw only three players bust early, and only one of them chose to re-enter. In the end, two players recorded their best PPC finish, two of last season’s league leaders made early exits, and Lauren took down her first win since 2022.
