Well, another DeepStack Extravaganza I tournament is in the record books. Our Event #19 $600 NLH MonsterStack $150K GTD attracted 585 players, and we nearly doubled our guarantee with a whopping $298,350 prize pool. 107 players made it to Day 2, and the field was whittled down to our final ten lucky and highly skilled participants.

Whereas the first part of the final table went relatively quickly, when we got down to the final five, the chip lead moved around quite a bit with some large pots being won and lost. Then, when we reached heads-up action, the two Jeremies—Pekarek and Joseph—negotiated a deal right off the bat, but held out $10,000 and the trophy, thus enabling the two men to duke it out to the very end and enabling one to secure the win and bragging rights.

When all was said and done, Jeremy Joseph won the event, a hefty $56,889, and our beautiful and highly coveted trophy. Congratulations again, Jeremy.

Congratulations again to the rest of our final table:

Congratulations to Jeremy Joseph from Las Vegas, NV who took down our DeepStack Extravaganza I Event #19 $600 NLH MonsterStack $150K GTD winning $56,889 and our beautiful and highly coveted trophy.

 

Congratulations to Jeremy Pekarek from Las Vegas, NV who finished second in our DeepStack Extravaganza I Event #19 $600 NLH MonsterStack $150K GTD winning $44,252.

After a relatively long heads-up battle for a held-out sum and our trophy, Pekarek’s A♦ 8♥ fell to Jeremy Joseph’s pocket Kings on what would be the final hand of this awesome tournament.

 

Jeremy Pekarek just enjoyed a massive double up when he called the all-in bet of Jeremy Joseph. Joseph’s pocket fives proved no match for Pekarek’s pocket tens, and Pekarek doubled his 4.86 million chip stack. Joseph still has a slight chip lead: 11-ish million versus 9.2 million.

Heads-up play is akin to a chess match, and these two gentlemen are masters. In this huge-pot hand, Jeremy Joseph raised to 1.5 million preflop, and Jeremy Pekarek called. After a 3♥ 7♦ Q♥ flop, Joseph bet 1.3 million, and Pekarek called. With 6♥ on the turn, Joseph continued with 2.5 million, and Pekarek folded. Joseph continues to extend his chip lead.
