According to Pokernews.com, the event attracted 23 players (Jason Mercier, Sorel Mizzi, Alexander Kostritsyn, Rafi Amit and many more), generating a total prize pool of €218,500.

The three-handed final table featured Shahade and two Russian players, Ilya Bulychev and Iakov Onuchin

"It was the biggest buy-in event I ever played, and I'm really happy I won. I loved it and had a great time. I almost busted several times, and I wasn't so happy with how I played in the beginning, but then as I got more tired, I got to play better. I have played regular open-face Chinese poker in a live tournament before, but never pineapple. It was fun. I thought it was great and hope there will be more tournaments like this.", Shahade told after her impressive win.

Shahade, who is also a two-time American women's chess champion, has now almost $240,000 in total lifetime tournament cashes.

Ship it to Rio! Also, thank you Jen for showing me how I suck at OFC and stopped wasting my moneyz on it.
