Well, the first event in our DeepStack Extravaganza II series is in the books and, as always, was a success. Our Event #1 $400 NLH DoubleStack $100K GTD attracted 314 players over our two flights and offered a prize pool of $105,190. While the top 15% of each night found themselves in the money, only the top 5% bagged and returned for Day 2.
We had a truly pleasant final table that was a mixture of pros and regulars—and three Jameses. Champ George Long took the chip lead when there were seven players remaining and never let it go. With four left, a deal was struck, giving Long the win, $16,880, and our beautiful trophy.
Congratulations again to George Long.
And congratulations again to the rest of our final table.
