Max Young takes it down in the first series coordinated between Portland Meadows Poker Room and Final Table Poker Club. Max picked up 36 points with a win at Final Table’s $30K guarantee on Friday night, and another 22 points in Saturday’s Portland Meadows $30K, for a total of 58, edging him ahead of the 54 points James Porter and Tony Strayer won during the series.

The four events had nearly 1,100 entries total, with a combined prize pool of over $125,000, well above the $80,000 in guarantees. Thanks to all of the dealers and staff at both rooms for making a great series! (I even cashed in the first event before taking off for the coast to celebrate an anniversary.)

I’m planning to plug Portland poker in an interview I’m recording Wednesday on High Roller Radio, you can listen to some of the past interviews they’ve done on YouTube, including the ever-entertaining Limon, and big-shot poker author James McManus.
