WPT Prime Lodge
Shrikant Pillamarapu won the $1,100 WPT Prime Lodge Championship in Texas for $148,527 and a $10,400 WPT World Championship seat. Kenneth Quattrocchi finished second for $126,733, while David Urban placed third after declining an ICM chop offer.

Shrikant Pillamarapu won the $1,100 WPT Prime Lodge Championship at The Lodge Card Club in Texas, earning $148,527 and a $10,400 seat into the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas in December. The tournament carried a $1 million guarantee.

Pillamarapu entered Monday's final table with 25 big blinds, the smallest stack among the remaining players, before mounting a comeback to claim the title.

Heading

One of the key hands came when Kenneth Quattrocchi held A♣5♣ on a K♦9♣8♣10♣ board, giving him an ace-high flush. He called a bet of 3,000,000, approximately half the pot.

Pillamarapu held A♦J♣ and had an open-ended straight flush draw. The Q♣ arrived on the river to complete his straight flush. Pillamarapu moved all in for maximum value, and Quattrocchi eventually folded after considering the decision.

Pillamarapu finished as champion after entering the final table with the shortest stack. He collected $148,527 and a seat worth $10,400 into the WPT World Championship in December, while Quattrocchi received $126,733 for second place.
