Event 5 was the mid-series tournament on the Pinktober Poker Open schedule and it had a very nice turnout. It attracted 125 entries for the $600 buy-in and Ken O’Donnell won it outright for more than $20,000.

The tournament easily surpassed its $50,000 guarantee and put $66,250 in the prize pool. We had 13 players advance to Day 2, all in the money, and they quickly played down to the final table.

O’Donnell was in the middle of the pack but quickly took charge along with the chips. Players continued to drop until he had a big lead heads-up with Daniel Kasper. With barely a blip, O’Donnell picked up every chip in the tournament and won the title along with $20,059.
