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.

House Whittaker’s final poker event of the 2023 season was action-packed as always. The day kicked off with the three-handed tie-breaker event between James, Kasra, and Chris to decide the 2023 Player of the Year, before the presentation of four other season awards. With the season awards out of the way, 13 players began their quest for the title of Main Event Champion. The field was stacked with five previous tournament winners and four season award recipients, but few of those players made deep runs in the Main Event. Instead, the tournament was dominated from the beginning by two clutch players who saved their best PPC finishes for this event.

Nine players gathered for our final regular season game, including three former winners. Five players — Kasra, Chris, James, Christina, and Crystal — were in the hunt for Player of the Year honors, and the result came down to the very last hand of the night!
