Talal Shakerchi managed to handle the pressure of the final table, entering it as chipleader and keeping that status until the end of the tourney. The first prize was a good incentive to play well, but some of his opponents may have given tough fight. And Paul Volpe finished 4th, again in a big final table and with a good prize too. I guess it may be better to finish a lot of times in the final table that only once in first in one of these events. If he keeps this way, he can turn into a big winner from paid places just in tourneys.
