The Foxwoods Poker Classic started off on a great note when it's first event, a $300 no-limit hold'em modified shootout tournament, attracted 1,390 entrants to generate a prize pool of $350,558.
Vinny Pahuja earned $75,000 and was declared the winner of the event after a deal was made with five players left. Pahuja at this time had a four-to-one chip lead over everyone left. This event offered players an interesting version of the shootout events that have become popular through online poker.
The first day had two different starting flights, wherein the top three players from each table advanced to the 4 p.m. session in which they started with 5,000 in chips. These players then played down the final table using a standard freezeout format. The final 10 finishers and their payouts follow:
- Vinny Pahuja — $75,000*
- Will Failla — $29,890*
- Daniele Mancuso — $29,890*
- Tiffany Williamson — $29,890*
- Kevin Madeira — $29,890*
- David Gelley — $12,269
- Marco Pimental — $8,763
- Steven Lee — $6,134
- Andrew Nannery — $4,381
- Jeffrey White — $3,505
* Payout reflects a five-way even chop with $45,110 extra left for the eventual winner.
