Thomas Quigley Wins The Deepstacks Poker Tour Breeders' Cup Celebrity Charity Invitational!
Well what an action packed few hours of poker we had here at Commerce Casino. Over 90 players brought in for the invitational, and at the end, Thomas Quigley stood alone at the top as the winner. Quigley, Michael Mizrachi, Tom Kamb, and Ray Henson made a four way chop, with Quigley being declared the official winner.
The mood was light throughout the night, with players kicking back drinks and having fun. Some players brought their best poker face and serious game, while some decided to have fun and gamble it up. No player personified this more then the host, Mr. Mizrachi. Mizrachi played virtually every hand, and towards the end of the tournament, he was shoving most hands. This lead to a ton of eliminations, including back-to-back knockouts of Mike Matusow and David ODB Baker.
The final nine players were all awarded with tickets to The Breeders' Cup this weekend. For some, it was a great thrill to go to such a sporting event, while the established pros at the final table were simply there for the good times and thrills of playing poker. Overall, it was a fun filled night, and turned out to be a success from all accounts.
That wraps it up here at the Commerce Casino! Congratulations go out to Thomas Quigley for being the official winner of the tournament, and to Tom Kamb, Ray Henson, and Michael Mizrachi, who will all be keeping a close eye on the horse races this weekend. Thanks for tuning into Pokernews.com, and good night everyone!
