Congratulations to Maxim Kotenok from Russia who finished 2nd in our DeepStack Championship Event #59 $600 Big O $50K GTD winning $18,053.

Kotenok picked his spots perfectly at the final table before eliminating Lu Yang in the final hand of the night. Yang had turned a straight before Kotenok rivered a flush leaving the final table three-handed.

Kotenok then accepted a deal which saw him collect $18,053 – smashing his previous best live score of $3,642.
