The 2024 regular season has come to a dramatic finish, as Christina capped off an absolutely dominant season with another dazzling performance, racking up six more knockouts on her way to a third straight win. She finished the season leading the league in almost every category, including wins (3), knockouts (16), and points per game (18.6).

Eleven players descended on the Pinnacle Poker Club for the penultimate event of the 2024 regular season. With shorter starting stacks, five levels of unlimited re-entry, and 28 POY points up for grabs by collecting bounties, the stage was set for lots of action. 

Although the format was different, the result was the same: a big win for Christina who still leads in the 2024 POY race.

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.

Twelve players joined us to compete for the title of Shootout Champion in our third event of the 2024 season, and it was Matt who came out on top after knocking out every player he faced. 

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.

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!
