CROWN PERTH: Weekend warriors out in force for Western Classic

The opening weekend of action in the Western Classic at Crown Perth has ended with the first two winners of the week decided. The 2012 schedule kicked-off with a $250 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Second Chance tournament, which attracted an excellent field of 134 players. Chris Fogarty collected the win for $8700.

Next up was an action-packed $150 Pot Limit Omaha event with the added juice of $100 rebuys and a single or double add-on. The field of 42 players built a prizepool of more than $21,000 with Darren Mundy more than happy to head to the cage to collect his first prize of $8000.

Another excellent turnout contested yesterday’s (Sunday’s) $150 No Limit Hold’em (w/ $100 rebuys & single/double add-on) event while the Western Classic continues tonight with the $275 No Limit Hold’em Terminator.
