27 Nov 08 BC Poker Event to Negreanu
The 4th annual British Columbia Poker Championship has been won my Daniel Negreanu. Being the top poker event in Western Canada, the BC Championship draws many of the world class Canadian professionals to the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond BC. The $2,500 buy-in main event drew 689 players and even though this is way below the buy-in level most pros will play, Daniel and other professionals made it to BC for the event.
The list of name players at River Rock included: Brad “Yukon” Booth, Gavin Smith, Lacey Jones, Mark Napier, Gabe Kaplan, Dennis Phillips, Steve Paul Ambrose, Isabelle Mercier, Maria Ho and Liz Lieu.
Daniel takes home the top prize of $371,910 and a Canadian Championship.
“Being Canadian myself, playing and winning the BC Poker Championship is extra special to me. The tournament was extremely well organized and my opponents were very good. It may have been a smaller tournament but I would say this has been the best $2500 buy-in event structure I’ve ever played.”
