Carlos Uz Wins the WSOPC Indiana Main Event!
2 years ago
After an hour or so of heads-up play, Carlos Uz and Marc Fratter have decided to end the tournament on a single hand.
Both players declared all-in and the flop came K
Q
7
. Fratter mucked and tournament directors declared Uz the winner.
Confused? Yeah we were too but we talked to both the players and during the break they agreed to split the whole thing. They will split the prize pool right down the middle except Fratter will take an extra $5,000 and the seat into the WSOP Main Event while Uz will get the WSOPC ring and the title.
Fratter told PokerListings.com, "It would have gone on for hours if we kept playing so we just decided to chop it."
And with that, Carlos Uz is the WSOPC Indiana main event winner. Uz, or the Uzi as we've taken to calling him, was firing on all cylinders when he got to the final table. Uz eliminated most of his competition and was the most dominant player of the day.
Stay tuned for a PL.com exclusive interview with Uz.

all the way to the river and then Fratter bets $15,000 but Uz re-raises to $30,000. Fratter makes the call and shows a three for a pair but Uz shows J-10 for a better pair.
The action is so slow that a railbird has offered to pay out $5 to the next player who bluffs. Sweet!

Vito Calluso Eliminated Third ($68,840)
2 years ago
Vito Calluso got into a race situation with Marc Fratter and it ended up costing him his tournament life. Calluso open-shoved from the button for a little over $100,000 and that sent Marc Fratter, who was in the small blind, into deep thought. After a couple minutes Fratter made the decision to make the call, flipping over A
8
. Calluso in turn showed 9
9
and was in the lead.
The board went Q
10

and Fratter triumphed with his ace-kicker plus the board.
We're now heads-up and players are on a 15-minute break as the table is set up for one versus one.
Carlos Uz has approximately $700,000 while Fratter has the slight lead with $740,000.

Carlos "The Uzi" Uz has just taken out another player. Chris Viox shoved with Q

J
6
and Viox is shaking his head and walking to the payout booth.
Uz has nearly $700,000 chips and all the other stacks at the table are looking tiny by comparison. The Uzi is on fire!
