Wow, this was a doozy of a tournament. We had some fierce competitors and some exciting hands. Scott Clements—our mysterious Seat #8 player throughout the tournament—finally emerged victorious after an extremely well-played final table and agreed to be revealed.

When we were three-handed, Sam Vizza and Michael Tureniec gave Clements a run for his money as the three gentlemen exchanged chip leads for quite a while.

All in all, this was a spectacular final table after a fantastic tournament that attracted 576 total players and offered a prize pool of $293,760.

Congratulations again to Scott Clements from Mount Vernon, Washington who emerged victorious, winning our DeepStack Showdown Event #15 $600 NLH DoubleStack $150K GTD, our gorgeous trophy, and $54,594.

Congratulations to the rest of our final table.

Finally, our mysterious Seat #8 is revealed. Congratulations to Scott Clements from Mount Vernon, Washington who took down our DeepStack Showdown Event #15 $600 NLH DoubleStack $150K GTD winning a rather hefty $54,594 and our equally hefty—and highly coveted—stunning trophy.

 

In this, the tournament’s final hand, Sam Vizza—very short-stacked against Seat #8 at this point—went all in with his Q♣ J♦ versus his opponent’s A♥ 10♥. When the board came 9♠ 5♦ A♣ 3♦ 2♥, Vizza knew his tournament had finally come to an end.

Congratulations to Sam Vizza from Chicago, IL who finished second in our DeepStack Showdown Event #15 $600 NLH DoubleStack $150K GTD winning $45,000.

Going into Level 32, here’s where our final three stand:

Michael Tureniec: 3.005 million
Seat #8: 6.305 million
Sam Vizza: 7.935 million

Stay tuned for what is sure to be a thrilling conclusion from these three superb players.

The final table action is getting quite exciting.

Sam Vizza doubled up his 4.165 million chips when he called (after a long contemplation period) Seat #8’s all-in. Vizza showed A♦ 10♠ and Seat #8 flipped his pocket Kings. Vizza got extremely lucky when the board came 3♣ J♦ A♣ 2♥ A♥.

On the subsequent hand, Seat #8 earned back 2.065 million chips from Michael Tureniec when he turned a pair of Queens, then rivered trip Queens.

At a three-handed table, Seat #8 just doubled up his 2.66 million against Michael Tureniec when he rivered a gutshot.

On the very next hand, however, Tureniec’s A♠ K♥ held firm against Seat #8’s J♠ Q♣  on a 10♣ 5♦ 6♦ 4♥ 8♠, and Tureniec got back 1.44 million.

Congratulations to Mykel Comroe from Dallas, TX who finished fourth in our DeepStack Showdown Event #15 $600 NLH DoubleStack $150K GTD winning $20,563.

Michael Tureniec snap called Comroe’s all with his pocket Aces. Comroe sighed when he flipped over his pocket Kings in the age-old heartbreak hand.
