Justin Ouimette (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-632nd) has just won the inaugural Stardust Canadian Poker Classic sponsored by PokerStars at the Stardust Poker Mansion near Montreal, Quebec.
Neal Armstrong (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-1,556th), who held the chip lead coming into final table play, finished third in the event while well-known professionals Xuan Liu (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-132nd) and Chris McClung (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-1,961st) finished fourth and fifth positions.
Liu was especially upset by today's turn of events, here is what she had to say on her Twitter feed moments after her elimination...
Super disappointed & feel like the worst closer ever. Then they tell me there's a bracelet for the winner! Thx for the sweat guys <3

Liu and McClung will now certainly turn their attention towards playing the WCOOP - PokerStars World Cup of Online Poker.
