Hand Cashes In The First EasterWithAces Event
The first of ten EasterWithAces events took place on April 4. It drew in a bumper crowd of 1,586 entries, more than doubling the $7,500 guarantee the top 223 finishers shared $15,542.
Hand went deep in the event, eventually bowing out in 22nd place.
Each of the eight finalists won at least $221 for their efforts, with the top three finishers turning their $11 investment into a four figure haul. Brazil��s "Jucaltajai" finished third for $1,203, which left "ZzZzZzZzSsZ" of Canada and "hassabi" of Finland heads-up for the title. The heads-up duo struck a deal that saw the Canadian bank $1,856 and the Finn become the first EasterWithAces champion, a finishing worth $2,200.
