"waransan" Wins WSOPC Ring Event #15: Monster Stack After Three-Way Deal
"waransan", from Germany, has emerged victorious in Event #15: Monster Stack $500K GTD of the 2020 GGPoker WSOP Online Super Circuit after a three-way deal with "DameDolla" and"geladinhaRLS". He collected $92,866 and a Circuit ring for his victory.
This one-day tournament drew a massive field of 5.216 players creating a prize pool of $959,744, almost double the initial $500,000 guarantee. With 15-minute levels throughout most of the tournament, the action was fast-paced and once the bubble burst at Level 26, players started hitting the rail even faster.
"waransan" flew under the radar for most of the day and it wasn't until the final two tables were reached that he began emerging as a threat to his opponents. He was responsible of the elimination of "ALaGrandeLePuseCuca" in thirteenth place with ace-queen against "ALaGrandeLePuseCuca"'s eights in an all in preflop situation to climb to the top of the leaderboard and he found himself taking a seat at the final table with the second biggest stack a couple of levels later. Between making the right plays, and getting the right cards at the right time, he maneuvered his way to four-handed, with the chip lead. "waransan" briefly lost the lead three-handed but he won a three-way all in shortly after to start a heads-up match against "DameDolla" as a favorite.
The heads-up battle only lasted a couple of hands until "DameDolla" called an all in raise on the flop with an ace-high flush draw against "waransan" who had mid-pair. "DameDolla" couldn't hit and "waransan" was crowned the winner.
