The tournament has 150 entries for a $10,000 prize pool and the last seven players at the final table made the money. Three players were remaining when they decided to divide up the rest of the prize pool, and Barbara Cardin took the top prize thanks to her chip lead.

In addition to the $3,149 she made for the win, Cardin also earned a $1,700 seat into the $400,000 guaranteed PPO Championship.

Congrats Barbara and good luck in the Championship!
