Every year, the Playground Poker Club in Montreal plays host to PartyPoker’s prestigious World Poker Tour event, an event which never fails to attract scores of “name” competitors and to put PartyPoker onto the map as one of the major powers of the online poker industry. While the event will do little in the way of the deciding the ever-raging
PartyPoker vs PokerStars war, it is always a great speck of color on the live tournament calendar.
On Wednesday, its Main Event wrapped up, as Jonathan Jaffe walked away with the top prize and the bragging rights. Three day 1 flights were registered and a total of 732 players put up the buy-in to take part in the event. Jaffe’s eventual cut of the prize-pool was an impressive $429.1k.

The final table got off to a hot start: it only took Guillaume Nolet, the first victim, 10 hands to bite the dust. First left crippled by Mukul Pahuja, Nolet got the last of his chips into the middle on a 9,4o. Jaffe was the one who stepped up to the plate, holding pocket rocket no less, which prevailed, and thus Nolet was sent packing, $83.6k in his pocket.
The next player to hit the rail was Sam Chartier, whose 5th place was worth $103.5k. Chartier was followed to the rail by Kevin MacPhee, who picked up $138.2k for his 4th spot. Mukul Pahuja’s elimination in 3rd place set up the heads-up stage of the action. Pahuja picked up $186.9k for his efforts. By the time the heads-up stage of the action began between Jaffe and Ratharam Sivagnanam, the former held a 3-1 chip advantage, but it would still take him some 81 hands to put his opponent away.
