Later in the evening, it was Team RIU’s one and only Jimmy Cappucci who made waves in the $125 6-Max N.O.R.S.E. event, taking it down for $2,219. The impressive part of this win, was that Cappucci won a record-breaking 6th RIU gold trophy. What’s even MORE impressive?! He beat his OWN record!

Cappucci defeated Paul Holder heads-up in this event, who took home $1,415 for his deep run. Familiar faces that made it deep in this event included the likes of Cat Valdes (7th – $320), Eric Goldstein (8th – $320), Sarah Sherman (10th – $200), and John Boriolo (11th – $200).
