The Canadian Grand Prix was an unbelievable event, one to remember. Players had merged from both online and live starting flights, and came together in yesterday’s Day 2. From 3341 entries, 481 showed up for Day 2. Of that number, 46 played today in the third and final day of this marathon event.
Richard Figiel will most likely remember this performance his entire life, as it is so far his greatest tournament achievement. He single-handedly eliminated the last 5 players, to earn himself the 1st place, the Champion’s Trophy, and a very cool $49,385 cash amount, $10,000 of which was earned by besting his ICM chop opponents.

Congratulations Richard!
