Ramón Asser
The technically Mexiquense but practically capital-city event featured an attractive buy-in of only MXN$1,900 on Days 1A and 1B and MXN$2,200 in the three remaining qualifying flights. Upon their conclusion, a total of 199 entries were registered, generating an overlay that was covered by the poker room without any issues.
The organization also awarded a pair of MXN$5,000 bonuses to the chip leaders of the first two qualifying days, with Sergio Aguirre
Ramón Asser agreed to close a multi-way deal at the final table. He took the trophy home but not the best payout.
Starting with a stack of 30,000 points, only 33 players qualified for Day 2 already in the money. The corresponding day took place last Saturday, July 18, until the final table was formed, which was played the following day, Sunday. With Aguirre starting at the front of the second phase, one of the key moments came when the final table bubble burst: Cheko went all-in with his last 11 big blinds from the HJ with K 10 and was called by Mario Aguilar who dominated him with an A 10, both connecting a pair of tens on the community cards, with the ace deciding the pass.
