Defending HPT St. Louis Champ Bill Byrnes Wins Event #3: 7-Game Mix
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
This weekend’s HPT St. Louis Main Event is the culmination of a whole festival of tournaments, which actually kicked off over a week ago.
One of those tournaments was Event #3: $200 7-Game Mix, which attracted 112 entries and created a $17,920 prize pool paid out to the top137 places.
Among those to cash but fall short of the final table was Michael Snow (9th - $493), Bradley Beetz (10th - $448), Kevin Conger (11th - $403), Craig Welko (12th - $403), and Stefanie Christiana (13th - $403).
Bill Brynes, who back in March topped a 444-entry field to win the HPT St. Louis Main Event for $148K, wound up as the last player standing to capture another title at Hollywood St. Louis, this one good for $5,197.
