Jing, who’s known as Pacman in the L.A. poker scene, is a regular in card rooms across California. Aside from a few cashes in Las Vegas, the vast majority of Pacman’s $632,489 live tournament earnings come from tournaments in or around L.A.. Before today, Pacman’s largest cash came from winning the 2007 Winnin’ o’ the Green $1,500 main event for $72,600. Now Pacman gets to add another L.A. victory title to his resume along with his first six-figure score. Pacman’s score was the largest of the $663,000 prize pool had to offer. The prize pool far surpassed the $500,000 estimated guarantee thanks to 527 entrants, 56 of whom bought in on day 2 through the Quantum Rebuy option. Pacman’s road to victory involved two lengthy days followed by a shorter final table. The final nine players convened today at 4pm to play down to a winner and quickly got down to five players. Then play stalled a bit and the final five players battled for two-and-a-half hours. After we lost our 5th place finisher, Amit Makhija quickly eliminated two more players and got heads-up with the chip lead. Pacman then doubled up up early on though and when the final two players went on break, Pacman was up to 12.8 million to Makhija’s 8.8 million. That’s when players decided to end things. Makhija and Pacman decided on a nearly even chop (Makhija got $135,980 to Pacman’s $135,981) and a flip for the title. Initially, players wanted to draw a high card but decided on a final hand instead. Pacman got dealt pocket fours while Makhija got ace-nine. A flip ensued and pocket fours held up. Makhija finished 2nd while Shan Jing became the CPPT Bicycle Casino main event champion. Here is a look at the payouts and POY points awarded in this event:
