Matthew Beattie Wins Spring Season 2008 Tournament of Champions
Matthew Beattie came back from an almost 20:1 chip disadvantage against Danielle Angier heads-up to win Vermont Poker League’s Spring Season 2008 Tournament of Champions, and win a $1,100 tournament entry for the Foxwoods Poker Classic next month.

Danielle flopped the flush and Matthew was left with 20,000 chips. All-in the next hand, Matthew caught a straight with 7-9 against Danielle’s King-Queen and never looked back.

10th - Greg Randall
9th - Dave Radaker
8th - Peter Woods
7th - Bruce Johnson
6th - Steve Mishkit
5th - Jim Sears
4th - Kirk Davis
3rd - Shane Taylor
