DeepStack Championship Event #24 Final Table Wrap Up
Another successful DeepStack Championship event is in the books. This time, our Event #24 $1,100 NLH Summer Kick Off attracted an impressive 518 players who created a prize pool of $505,050; surpassing the guarantee of $400,000. Of those, 66 made it to Day 2, and we paid out 56 places.
The final table lasted four hours with the first five players to hit the rail falling to a different opponent each time. Then, in the space of 10-minutes, Sean Dunwoodie, Ricky Guan and Chih Ying Liang were eliminated leaving us with just two.
Brian Altman and Robert Kuhn reached heads up play, but instead of playing it out, opted to chop with no hands being played. Altman had the chip lead and took down the title as well as the coveted trophy.
Altman is no stranger to this event after capturing the exact same title two years ago. He joked afterwards saying that he was a defending champion (after taking last year’s summer off).
Congratulations again to Brian Altman from Boston, MA.
Brian Altman Wins DeepStack Championship Event #24 and $90,905!
Congratulations to Brian Altman from Boston, MA who took down our DeepStack Championship Event #24 $1,100 NLH Summer Kick Off $400K GTD winning $90,905 and our beautiful and highly coveted trophy.
It took Altman zero hands to take down the event after he and Robert Kuhn decided on a chop immediately after Chih Ying Liang was eliminated in third place.
Altman had more chips than Kuhn and therefore was awarded the title and the trophy.
Robert Kuhn Finishes in 2nd Place ($84,390)
Congratulations to Robert Kuhn from Las Vegas, NV who finished 2nd in our DeepStack Championship Event #24 $1,100 NLH Summer Kick Off winning $84,390.
As soon as Chih Ying Liang was eliminated in third place, both Kuhn and Brian Altman began discussing a deal.
The two looked at the numbers and agreed to end the night there and then.
Kuhn was behind in chips coming into heads-up play and ultimately gave up on the title and the trophy.
He did however earn himself almost an additional $20,000 more than what second place was originally guaranteed.
