Pat Tighe Wins Event #3 $300 No Limit Hold'em ($9,514)

Pat Tighe got the best of a field of 135 entries to win the third event on the 2015 Western New York Poker Challenge schedule early Monday morning.

Although a deal was struck four-handed Tighe officially recorded a $9,514 win after outlasting a marathon final table and beating Cameron Bartolotta heads up.

Tighe showed up near the top of the chip counts at the final three tables, and while he made the final table with a healthy stack, there were several times he found himself short as play went short handed.

Getting key double ups to survive just when he needed them, Tighe grinded his way into four-handed play and took control from there.

He entered heads-up facing a deficit, but doubled through Bartolotta to take the lead and eventually got him to commit all his chips dominated.

PokerNews will be back for coverage of the first flight of Event #5 of the 2015 Western New York Poker Challenge beginning at 11 a.m. local time on Monday.
