Event #30: $525 WSOP Beat the Pros [Freezeout]
Day 2 Completed
The final day of Event #30: $525 WSOP Beat the Pros [Freezeout] took a little under five hours to add another bracelet-winner here in the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events. The field of 1,594 entries created a $797,000 prize pool on the first day and just 19 returned for the final day. When the dust had settled it was Jase "RetiredFedor" Regina claiming the victory to take home his first WSOP bracelet, and $75,342 in total prizes.
Regina seemed to be on a steady decline throughout the day, going from fourth on the totem pole to a bottom dweller just as the final table was approaching. A string of small pots set up a double through fellow-countrymen Scott "Abracadabraa" Hill, bringing Regina over the average stack. Just two hands later the champ found big slick on the button and sent Aleksandr "gipotenuza" Ovechkin out the door, taking down a pot which put him in the pole position to start the final table.
The final table was not an easy journey for the champion as he started on top but fell to the lowest of the low when five-handed play began. Regina rose to overcome the hurdle, eliminating the other four with a pure run of cards. Stefan "Stiopata" Atanasov was the last bounty claimed after a short heads-up bout that saw Atanasov call his stack with ducks, after a shove by Regina who held eight-five. A rivered eight made Atanasov the runner-up, taking home $42,443 for his efforts.

The first day saw an impressive 1,594 clicks of the registration button, accumulating a $797,000 prize pool that had 224 set to receive at least a min-cash. By the end of the day, only 19 bagged up and all were guaranteed at least $2,370. But all sights were set on the $32,856 first-place prize to start Day 2, along with some juicy-looking bounties.
Once the final table began, it was Regina atop the leaderboard but he instantly went cold and fell to the bottom by the time five-handed started. A well-timed heater saw the Canadian rise like the phoenix, starting with a flip versus Sebastian "flashlight99" Mueller. Regina held on with sevens to collect his first bounty of the final table.
The Canadian continued his onslaught, dropping the only player who had a bracelet already to their name in Stoyan Madanzhiev. Madanzhiev found a cooler of a hand, running pocket kings into the aces of Regina who took down the pot for a massive double which left Madanzhiev in shambles. The Bulgarian put it in with king-ten shortly afterward, Regina called with eights and snowmen held on to drop Madanzhiev.
Arunas "AngryGoose" Sapitavicius fell into a pit early, having just two big blinds at one point but he battled back and found an optimal spot. Sapitavicius pushed with dimes, Regina called with ace-rag and two pair landed on the board for the eventual champ. The heads-up portion of the event was then set, having Atanasov try to take down the red-hot Regina. It took just a few hands for a conclusion when Regina shoved eight-five and Atanasov called with ducks. The Event #30 champion rivered an eight to secure the victory, collecting his first WSOP bracelet and $75,342 in prize money.
