DeepStack Extravaganza II Event #29 Final Table Wrap Up

The final multi-day DeepStack Extravaganza II event is in the books, and it was, as usual, a tremendous success. Our Event #29 $250 NLH $200K GTD attracted a whopping 1,190 players who created a prize pool of $243,950. There were five flights, and we paid out the top 12 percent; however, the top five percent bagged for Day 2. While we planned for 61 players advancing to Day 2, a double elimination at the end of Day 1E resulted in only 60 players advancing.

Our final table was an eclectic bunch of gentlemen: old, young, foreign, domestic, large personalities, and quiet guys. We also had two players who wished to remain anonymous and, hence, were identified by their seat numbers.

As is always expected in a tournament of this size with deep chip stacks, the chip lead jumped around. At one point our second-place finisher (Seat #1) had an enormous lead; however, it was champion Tony Gordy’s back-to-back double-ups that catapulted him across the finish line. In fact, Gordy started the final table considerably short-stacked, yet he plugged away, played aggressively, and ended up taking home the win.

Congratulations again to Tony Gordy, taking home a hefty $37,650 and our beautiful trophy.
