World Series of Poker Main Event Buy In Finals Results!

CONGRATULATIONS to Bob Francis of Tucson Arizona, the WINNER of the AZ Regional World Series of Poker Main Event Buy In FINALS!  Bob played his way through 272 players over 2 days on his way to the WIN!  Bob opted for the $5000.00 instead of the Main Event Seat.  We witnessed some truly amazing poker being played for over 19 hours in 2 days!  The FINAL 40 squared off at 1pm on Sunday, June 14th and the last hand was dealt after 7:30pm!  When they reached heads up and after Bob had taken down a huge pot, leaving 2nd place finisher Shylo Gossman with just over 100,000 in chips (Bob had over 3 million in chips) he graciously offered Shylo a fair chop - $4000 to $1000.  True to his word, Shylo said he was in it to win it and turned down the offer.  Shylo said he wanted to play in the main event and no amount of money would change his mind!  The next hand all the chips went into the middle and Bob caught his trip sixes on the turn to eliminate Shylo and take home the WIN! 

We would like to congratulate everyone that qualified and participated in this amazing event!  We would also like to thank all of you for being such GREAT CUSTOMERS and valued supporters of The Poker Pub of Tucson and The Poker Pub of West Phoenix!  We would like to thank all of our venues for hosting our games and all of our players for continuing to support these venues while helping make The Poker Pub the premiere free poker leaue in Arizona!  Special thanks to Clicks Billiards, Famous Sam's (43rd & Glendale) Famous Sam's (57th Ave & Bell) Fox & Hound (Tucson) and Taco Bron for hosting the qualifier tournaments!  Thanks to Executive Inn & Suites of Tucson for hosting the qualifiers and the FINALS!
