Official subreddit for all things poker. Justin Schwartz $112,582 – Foxwoods Poker Classic Matt Hennig $57,709 – HPT Iowa-Prairie Main Event. Turned out to be a very interesting few days with some big runs and one impressive comeback. Allen “Chainsaw” Kessler made the HPT Iowa-Prairie final table with as much applause as the fanboys could muster. Unfortunately he was. Soon after Schwartz, aka “stealthmunk,” began feuding with the hip hop artist, poker pros such as Dan O’Brien, Vanessa Selbst, and Justin Bonomo came to his defense. All these players are vocal.
Justin Schwartz has won the Foxwoods Poker Classic Main Event, after defeating a field of 192 players over three days to capture the title, and collect the $112,582 first place prize.
A whole slew of talented pros were attracted to the $2,325 buy-in event in Mashantucket, Connecticut to create a prize pool worth $433,007. By the end of Day 1 that field had been cut in half and by the end of Day 2 that number had been reduced further to 30 players, with Justin Schwartz fourth overall in chips.
On Day 3 the money bubble then burst with Aaron Smith collecting $4,806 for his 21st place finish, and amongst those notable names also cashing in at the tournament but falling short of the final table was Peter Campo in 20th ($4,806), Stefanski in 17th ($5,672), Lawrence Allen in 14th ($6,754) and Olanyk in 10th ($8,227).
As the final table of nine got underway, Justin Schwartz was the table leader on 1.6 million in chips, and eventually managed to make it through to heads-up phase of the competition holding a 4.282 million to 1.486 million lead over tough competitor Ryan Eriquezzo. Amongst Ryan Eriquezzo’s list of accolades is victory last year at the $1,600 WSOPC Atlantic City for $191,194, followed in July with a prestigious win at the $10k WSOP National Championship for $416,051.
However, after a tough heads-up battle at the Foxwoods Resort Casino, Ryan Eriquezzo found his tournament life on the line hoding 5-5 to Schwartz’s 10-10. Unfortunately for Eriquezzo, the board then rolled out 10-3-3-2-3 to relegate him to a runner-up finish worth $69,541, while Justin Schwartz was crowned the 2013 Foxwoods Poker Classic champion.
The final table payouts were as follows:
1 Justin Schwartz $112,582
2 Ryan Eriquezzo $69,541
3 Martin Koschik $50,229
4 Mike Lavoie $36,849
5 Fred Kulikowski $27,539
6 Nick Petrangelo $20,914
7 Raj Patel $16,152
8 John Dibella $12,687
9 Rob Brown $10,137

Ruben Visser £595,000 – EPT London Main Event
Justin Schwartz $112,582 – Foxwoods Poker Classic
Matt Hennig $57,709 – HPT Iowa-Prairie Main Event
Turned out to be a very interesting few days with some big runs and one impressive comeback. Allen “Chainsaw” Kessler made the HPT Iowa-Prairie final table with as much applause as the fanboys could muster. Unfortunately he was eliminated in 9th place for a quick exit. I’m sure his table banter has improved and it would have made for some interesting television.
Ryan Eriquezzo continued his nice run over the last few months with a final table appearance at the Foxwoods Poker Classic. He finished runner-up to Justin “Stealthmunk” Schwartz who earned another 6-digit payday, moving one step closer to owning a big boy wardrobe.

The most compelling story recently was the return of Danish poker legend Theo Jorgensen to a tournament field. Jorgensen and his family were the victim of a vicious home invasion last December where he was brutally beaten. After some long stays in the hospital, he returned to the game for the EPT London Main Event and picked up right where he left off. He finished in 4th place for a nice £183,000 welcome back bonus. Howard Swains has the excellent Theo Jorgensen comeback story over on the PokerStars Blog.

Tweet of the Day – The initial reaction to this post was skepticism followed by thinking it was practical jokery followed by a chuckle. Turns out it’s true and Allen Kessler has joined 30 others pros (so far) on Team Ivey.

Caesars Fined for Role in 2007 Gambling Spree – Man tears through $120 million on a Las Vegas gambling spree and the state of New Jersey fines Caesars Entertainment for it’s part in letting it happen. Seems reasonable, congrats New Jersey.
Nevada Gaming Commission is seeking your help – The NGC is looking for public comments about interstate agreements to expand online gaming. I expect they will get a lot of responses to this request. Have at it.
U.S. says cocaine and Internet gambling are the main sources of money laundering in Costa Rica – Nothing like throwing in online gambling in the mix with cocaine, human trafficking, and corruption. Well played Costa Rica, nice hand.
