Jaime Haletky was runner-up in the 2016 Ante Up World Championships at Thunder Valley Resort. Sunday night he moved one step up the ladder and claimed the 2017 Ante Up Poker Tour NorCal Classic title at Thunder Valley.
Haletky held off James Mackey to claim the title in the 204-entry $1650 single-flight Main Event, joining Michael Loncar as the only players with multiple Ante Up Poker Tour titles at Thunder Valley.
He had quite the celebration, as the tournament win came on his birthday.
