Weston Pring brought a modest stack of less than 200k into Day 2 today, but he managed to run that up to the win about 8.5 hours later. When they got to the final table, he’d chipped up a bit but was still one of the shorter stacks with 270k.
He played a cagey game that kept him alive while other players hit the rail around him. Paul Brar was in command for much of the final table, and when Pring and Brar got heads up, Brar was 2:1 ahead.
Heads up was a bit of a marathon as they started two-way play with about 100 big blinds on the table but didn’t finish it until there were just 30 bigs between them. The lead switched several times as the stacks got shorter, and in the decisive hand, Pring hero-called a big river bet from Brar with second pair and was good.
That hand gave Pring about a 5:1 lead and it ended shortly after that with king-jack for Pring into king-six for Brar. The jack held and Pring took down his seventh live win and second PPT trophy (Pring also won a PPT Bounty event back in 2021). The $18k score will likely add more than $10k to his Hendon Mob earnings which were sitting at $522,632 (USD) coming into this event.
