Rivers Casino 50K Mid-Week Mayhem Winner and Results!

River's Midweek Mayhem is over! The event had an excellent turnout with hundreds of entries over the 3 days. The final prizepool crushed the 50K Guarantee with $86,400 going to our Day 2 returners!

Day 2 started off with 42 players, who had already locked up a minimum cash of $425. In addition to the min cash, 3 players had managed to double bag the event, which means they had already locked up an additional $1,200! All 3 of those double bag players were knocked out early in the day, and they each left the tournament with $1,720! Congrats to those players.

The field played all the way down to 3 remaining players when they began to talk about a chop. They all had similar stack sizes and eventually decided on an even 3 way chop. They all won $12,762!

The player who was declared the official winner of the tournament was Michio Cohen! He is the winner because he had slightly more chips when the chop took place then his two opponents. Michio is currently 2nd of the all-time Rivers Schenectady money list with $110,013. He is gaining on Gilberto Taveras-Garcia who currently sits on top with $138,812.

Congratulations to everyone who came out for this wonderful event!
