Kenneth Brossoit Wins Event #1 for $51,180 After 4-Way Deal
While PokerNews is offering live updates from this Main Event, there have been several other side events playing out this past week at the 2021 bestbet Jacksonville Spring Series.
Event #1: $560 No-Limit Hold'em attracted a field of 741 entries, one-upping its identical Winter Open counterpart from this past January's 592 runners by more than 25%.
A total prize pool of $363,101 was paid out to the top 94 players, and players such as Ronald Sewell (40th - $1,722), Wendy Lu (34th - $1,722), and Jack Sumner (11th - $5,159) made it into the money but were eliminated before the final table. With nine left, Day 1c chip leader Eddy Mroczkowski bubbled the final table ($6,463), and the remaining eight players headed over to the bestbet LIVE featured table to play under the lights for the live-streamed final table.
One by one, Kobzyev Kyrylo, Conrad Lau III, Gloria Jackson, and Bryan Brozman were eliminated. The final four players then agreed to a deal with Kenneth Brossoit of Charleston, SC earning the top prize and first bestbet Jacksonville trophy of the series.
