DeepStack Championship Event #67 Final Table Wrap Up

Another successful DeepStack Championship event is in the books. This time, our Event #67 $600 NLH EpicStack $750K GTD attracted 1,987 players who created a prize pool of $1,003,435; crushing the guarantee of $750,000. Of those, 318 made it to Day 2, and we paid out 207 places.

It took over ten hours for the field of 318 to dwindle down to it’s final ten. Then, in just over two hours and after a deal four-handed, a champion emerged.

Israel’s Zakhar Galper came into the final table as one of the chip leaders. He then observed as Shaun Zammit (three knockouts), Leandro Gorzoni Da Silva (two knockouts) and Ian Matakis (one knockout) did all the hard work taking out everyone at the final table.

Galper was able to win several key pots throughout which saw him capture the chip lead just before the final four players were reached. Zammit (4th), Da Silva (3rd), Matakis (2nd) and Galper all agreed on a four-way chop that saw Galper come out victorious.

Congratulations again to Zakhar Galper from Israel.

1st Place – Zakhar Galper
2nd Place – Ian Matakis
3rd Place – Leandro Gorzoni Da Silva
4th Place – Shaun Zammit
5th Place – Richard Mullen
6th Place – Ben Winsor
7th Place – Dan Dizenzo
9th Place – Amihai Neeman
10th Place – Elise Rosen

Zakhar Galper Wins DeepStack Championship Event #67 and $109,247

Congratulations to Zakhar Galper from Israel who took down our DeepStack Championship Event #67 $600 NLH EpicStack $750K GTD winning $109,247 and our beautiful and highly coveted trophy.

Galper made it to the final table second in chip after starting Day 2 as the twelfth largest stack with 318 players who returned.

Galper did not take out a single player at the final table, but won enough hands in between, to emerge as the chip leader with four players remaining. He then agreed to a deal which saw him claim $109,247 and his first Venetian DeepStacks trophy for his efforts.

Ian Matakis Finishes in 2nd Place ($100,417)

Congratulations to Ian Matakis from Faribault, MN who finished 2nd in our DeepStack Championship Event #67 $600 NLH EpicStack $750K GTD winning $100,417.

Matakis started the final table as one of the short stacks, but manoeuvred his way through the carnage (which included taking out Dan Dizenzo in 7th place), before rising up to one of the larger stacks with four players remaining.

Matakis then agreed to a deal which saw him pocket $100,417 for his efforts.
