$500 Monthly Tournament – May Wrap-Up
The $500 Monthly Tournaments have a separate leaderboard. This leaderboard keeps track of the points for one month and the top 60 points earners are eligible to play in a tournament with prizes including $500, entry into the Grand Championship at the end of the season, and entry into the Yearly Championship that combines three seasons. The winner is automatically an All Star!
The May Monthly took place on June 12th at the unique Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery in John’s Creek. Thirty-seven players came out to vie for the Monthly Winner title. The competition was strong as these are players who have amassed the most points in that month out of over 1,378 players having points on the complete leaderboard. Takes more than luck to be in the top 60 for the month! Takes consistent finishes at every tournament played. As the tournament started, the heaven’s opened up and a deluge descended on the players not safely inside!
After several hours it was heads-up between Frank Nicklas and Ken Murphy. The final all-in hands were:
Frank – J, 3 – both hearts
Ken – Pocket Kings
Final outcome:
What a way for Ken Murphy to win! Quads! Congratulations to Ken for winning, and Frank for second place!
Ken Murphy being congratulated by the Tilted Kilt Ladies.
