Ireland's Robbie Renehan (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-602nd) sure picked a good time to qualify online for a live poker tournament.
The relative newcomer to the circuit qualified through PokerStars to play in LAPT Colombia's Main Event over the weekend and pulled off the minor upset, turning a short stack into a victory, earning his first major live poker tournament.
Renehan's win seems even more surprising as it looked as if Spanish pro Raul Paez (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-998th) - who came into final table play as the big chip leader - was destined to earn his first LAPT title. But, it wasn't meant to be as Paez was eliminated in third position.
