P5s Live: "AawwNutz" Wins Biloxi Southern Poker Championship[ return to main articles page ]

Allen AawwNutz Carter (pictured), a PocketFives.com member since February 2005, took down the Southern Poker Championship in the early morning hours of Sunday for $1,025,500! Allen outlasted a field of over 280 players in the Main Event and played passively during the first part of final table play before becoming more aggressive as more players were eliminated. After tournament action had ended in Biloxi, Mississippi, PocketFivesLive reporter Jessica doomswitch83 Welman said the following regarding Allen's victory: "[He] spent the first half of the final table laying low and staying out of chip leader Soheil Shamseddin's way. He kicked up the aggression at just the right time though and played some great heads up poker to take down the event." Allen Carter would eventually defeat Bobby Suer heads-up for the championship.

Tyler Tydean Smith (pictured left) was eliminated in 5th place for $134,500 in an all-in situation where eventual champion AawwNutz held QQ and Tyler had AK and didn't improve. PocketFivesLive reporter doomswitch83 said, "Tyler had an unfortunate seat draw for the final table with Allen Carter and the unpredictable Shamseddin seated to his left. Had he won that coin flip instead of Allen, he just as easily could have walked away with the title. After the event concluded, Carter said Smith was easily his toughest competition at the final table which I think speaks volumes about Tyler's talent."

Other PocketFives.com members who cashed in the Biloxi event were Hevad RaiNKhaN Khan (14th for $21,098), Moshin chicagocards1 Charania (15th for $21,098), and Ben bfineman Fineman (20th for $13,186). Stewart Stuman123 Yancik took home $13,186 for 22nd place while Jordan iMsolucky0 Morgan took home that same amount upon finishing in 26th place.

The 2009 Beau Rivage Southern Poker Championship Main Event final table results were:

1. Allen Carter - $1,000,000
2. Bobby Suer - $501,082
3. Soheil Shamseddin - $263,725

    <p>Tydean is the baddest man on the planet that no one knows about.  Tyler is an awesome player who just turned 22 and will be making a ton of noise in 2009.</p>
