Congratulations to Barak Wisbrod from Israel who took down our DeepStack Championship Event #65 $1,100 NLH DoubleStack (1Day) $250K GTD winning $100,292 and our beautiful and highly coveted trophy.

The key hand for Wisbrod at the final table was when he was involved in a three-way all in pre flop. Wisbrod had pocket nines and was up against Dylan Thomassie who had ace-king and Jeffrey Tanouye who had pocket tens. A nine would spike on the flop giving Wisbrod a triple up.

From there, he took out Phong Than Nguyen in 5th place before eliminating Dylan Thomassie (3rd) and Joseph Elpayaa (2nd), to capture his first Venetian DeepStacks title.
