The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is focused on five events at the RIU Reno VIII, but there are plenty of side events throughout including Sunday’s 125 Superstack Supersonic, a tournament attracted 140 entrants and created a $13,580 prize pool.
Among those to make a deep run but fall short of the final table were Don McCormick (12th - $310), Dino Gerry (16th - $250), Kevin Martin (18th - $200), and Jimmy Cappucci (22nd - $200).
The final table was filled with some familiar faces including the $125 6-Max NLO8 champ Sarah Sherman and Twitch streamer and former Big Brother Canada contestant Arlie Shaban, who finished in sixth and fourth place for $690 and $1,040 respectively.
In the end, Twitch streamer and partypoker Team Online pro Patrick Tardif notched his first-ever live tournament win to capture the gold trophy and a $3,030 top prize. Tardif is known as “Egption” online and @IrEgption on Twitter.
