As we reported yesterday, Sept 29 - Oct 5 Weekly TLB Winner and Team Bodog alumnus Johnathan "UFPokerStar" Westra was set to take on Bodog poker pro Evelyn Ng in a heads-up match. Well, Westra won his match, breaking the Bodog pros winning streak at five matches and earning himself the $6,000 cash prize.

The back and forth match lasted over 80 hands and at one point Westra was down to only 295 chips, but doubled up quickly and kept chipping away at Evy.  Westra remained patient and finally got it to pay off when he entered a hand holding Q-9 on a board of 9-7-Q.  As Evy was holding Q-7, all the money went in the middle in a hurry and Westra's hand held up, giving him the chip lead.

That hand crippled Evy down to 800 chips and she could never recover. The match ended 5 hands later when Evy pushed all in with A-4 and was called and outdrawn by Westra's K-J.  The board came Q-9-10-9-3 giving him the straight, the match and the $6,000.
