Venetian Small Stacks Report

Adam Schacter (bald, right) negotiating a 1st-place chop.

Kinda fun … with action still grinding away at the big table, our boy Adam Schacter just won the nightly. Nice! (And making a final table is always a good way to become \”our boy\”, fyi.) Actually he chopped when they were down to three players … but as the chip leader in that situation, he gets credit for the win and takes home more than $3k. Second place got about $2,700 … with third getting about $2,000.

Schacter, of course, is an ancillary Batface (kinda like a \”Friend of Full Tilt\”) who made four final tables in Pokerati Invitationals and DSOP\’s. He was in town for a wedding and hadn\’t played poker since August when he bought into this $120 event on a whim.
