Congratulations to Marlon Goonawardne, Event #6 Champion!
Goonawardne is a popular local player at the Crown Casino who plays $2-5 NL. It seemed like everyone in the casino wandered away from their tables to congratulate him and shake his hand after he won.
Goonawardne seized the chip lead on the second hand of play when he eliminated Kim Pearl and never had to look back. Despite some serious competition from 2006 WSOP Main Event 3rd place finisher Binger, Goonawardne never backed down and rode that big stack all the way to victory.
Congrats to Marlon Goonawardne on a match well played. Maybe now it's time to move up to the $5-10 game?
