Jeff Conine Charity Poker Classic / Charity Series of Poker 
Structure
Level 13: 3,000/6,000 with an 6,000 big-blind ante
Players Remaining: 60 of 382

As a fun charity event, there were a few bonus prizes given out at the first break (when registration closed). The chipleader would receive $1,000, and whoever bought in for the most entries would also receive $1,000 — the first one is an achievement, while the second is a dubious honor.

As Tournament Director Tony Burns scanned the field for chipleaders, the winner appeared to be Tim Reilly with 83,500. But shortly after he was announced, Maria Ho said she had 85,000, giving Reilly a bit of a slowroll.

But being the class act that she is, Ho announced that she would be donating the $1,000 prize back to the charity — Conine’s Clubhouse.

Turning to the award for the most entries, there were two players who had four entries each — Mike Leah and Chance Kornuth. Unfortunately for Leah, he busted shortly after it became official, while Kornuth was clinging to life with just a short stack of chips.
