Another DeepStack Extravaganza II tournament is in the books. This time around, it was our Event #15 $400 NLH DoubleStack $100K GTD. We attracted 250 total players over our two flights, and the prize pool was an even $100,000 (with a $16,250 overlay.)
We paid out the top 15 percent; however, only the top five percent (13 players) bagged for Day 2. Our final table was a nice mix of quiet, deliberate players and those with huge personalities.
The chip lead moved around quite a bit. In fact, Seat #3 (who wished to remain anonymous) was severely short-stacked early on; yet, he battled back to end up in second place. When we were five-handed, there was talk of a deal—and again when we were four-handed—but both times, neither reached fruition.
Finally, when we were down to three, our remaining players struck a deal, and Novo had eked out the win ahead of Seat #3.
Congratulations again to Julio Novo who won $17,709 and our stunning trophy. Congratulations again Julio!
And congratulations to the rest of our final table.

Robert Banto dealt Piccolo the fatal blow when Banto called after Piccolo shoved. It was Piccolo’s A♦ 4♠ versus Banto’s A♣ J♠. The flop fell 7♣ 5♥ 2♦, and, interestingly, Piccolo correctly predicted a 6♣ on the turn and 2♠ on the river and his demise.
The deal was a no-go, and in the next hand, Robert Bantu doubled up against James Piccolo. In this hand, Piccolo shoved from the big blind with pocket nines, and Banto called with J♠ Q♦. The board fell 2♣ J♦ 2♥ K♣ 6♥, and Banto won the pot.
After the break, our remaining five players are discussing a chop. Stay tuned for what is sure to be a thrilling conclusion to our tournament.

Robert Banto: 470,000
Seat #3: 2,875,000
James Piccolo: 815,000
Julio Novo: 1,570,000
Brandon Howard: 530,000
Congratulations to Adam Nagel from Buffalo, NY who finished sixth in our DeepStack Extravaganza II Event #15 $400 NLH DoubleStack $100K GTD winning $4,800.
Nagel fell victim to Seat #3, as did Kevin Lott in a hand where both Nagel and Lott shoved preflop. Nagel, with his 325K chips and Lott with his 320K chips. Seat #3 called. It was Nagel’s K♥ J♠ versus Lott’s pocket tens versus #3’s Q♣ A♠. When the board ran K♠ A♦ 8♥ 9♠ 2♥, #3 scored a double KO.
