Mike Sprugasci Deals His Own Victory! - 3/06/10
It didn't look like Mike Sprugasci was going to win the March tournament because Fancy Dan Shahin had a pretty good chip lead and Ken Low was continuing his strong finishes at the final table. During short-handed play, Steve Pait managed to pick up pocket aces vs. the ace/king of Ben Eufemi which gave Steve the big chip lead that Fancy Dan once held. Ken Low had another great tournament, but he couldn't manage to make it into the money with a bubble finish.
Sprugasci took some heat from the railbirds when he folded pocket eights to a pressure move from Ben Eufemi, but the move looked even worse when a rabbit flop showed an eight on the board. Despite the missed opportunity, Mike overcame Steve Pait's big chip lead in head-to-head action to take down the March tournament.
