Congratulations to Craig Chait, Winner of the $1,100 2-7 Event!

Because Phil Hellmuth was still in the $1,100 HORSE Event, him and Craig Chait agree to move the payouts a bit, and shorten the blind levels. They decided that the winner would receive $9,720, while the runner up would get $9,000 even.

Chait would take the chip lead over Hellmuth before this final hand. Chait moved all in, and Hellmuth called all in. Chait stayed pat while Hellmuth drew one card. Chait showed a [Jx][6x][5x][3x][2x], while Hellmuth fanned out a [10x][8x][6x][4x].  Hellmuth squeeze his card for quite some time before saying he paired up, showing another four. He shook hands with Chait before heading over to the HORSE Event.

For Chait, it is amazingly his second Remington Trophy in as many days! With the victory, he also moves into first on the Player of the Year standings. Stay tuned for another player profile of our first two time winner of the series. Congratulations Craig!
