After busting that tournament, he entered Event #32: $550 Cardplayer Lifestyle 8-Game, which attracted 100 runners and awarded a $48,000 prize pool to the top 13 finishers. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Asher Lower (9th - $1,490), Matthew Cosentino (11th - $1,190), and Nick Pupillo (12th - $960).

Happy Birthday, Louise Francoeur!
One of the last tournaments on the schedule was Event #34: $250 NLH Unlimited Re-Entry, which attracted 106 entries and awarded a $21,200 prize pool to the top 15 finishers.
After a long day of play, it was well-known grinder Louise Francoeur coming out on top to win a $5,540 top prize and a silver Spadie trophy. Making it extra special was that it came during her birthday weekend.
As she wrote on social media: “What a way to cap off the birthday week roller coaster!! I focused on poker to forget about elections for a bit and other things….Best poker week ever!!!! Many poker opportunities presented themselves through freerolls and satellites, and I seized them all. As a result I auditioned to be the Loose Cannon on the Big Game and even made it to final 9 in 120 before they chose 3, i sattied into and cashed the PokerStars NAPT Main Event. And then won today’s event outright for the trophy!!! What makes it really sweet is that yesterday I played the 8 game mix tournament and was berated and called an idiot for being inexperienced and misplaying a hand, I guess I should stay in my lane.”
