Maimone Wins $1,500 Marathon Of WSOP

American Nick "rdcrsn" Maimone registered with the Canadian flag on the GGPoker, winning $302,472 in prize money, $15,000 WSOP Europe package, and his first WSOP Gold bracelet at WSOP Event #69, beating Brazil's Diego "Jacksteller" Vitar.

The tournament paid off as a one-day event, which took more than 13 1/2 hours from start to finish. Despite the lack of guarantees, 1,438 contestants received a huge turnout, raising a whopping $2,049,150.

Despite never discovering WSOP gold today, Maimone is no stranger to success. In addition to more than $2.1 million in real-time cash, Maimone once ranked No. 6 in the world at Pocket Five online poker tournaments, according to The Hendon Mob.

The win was achieved by Maimone, who topped $1 million in WSOP cash, with his best performance more than a decade ago when he ranked 15th at $633,022 in the WSOP main event in 2009.

After a four-hour late registration window opened, the field swelled to 1,438 admissions, with 504 people standing.

About 90 minutes later, the top 206 players were in the money for at least a min-cash of $3,243 after Roland "Gwriden" Rokita and Aleksei "JokerFace" Barkov hit the rail during the last hand of bubble action.

Six-time WSOP bracelet winner and GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu was among the players to make a deep run eventually hitting the rail in 86th place for $4,370 when his ace-queen couldn't get there against his opponent's big slick.

Ermo "PublicEnemy7" Kosk was cruising away and had the lead most of the time from 50 players left until the nine-max final table began. The final table began five hours after the money was reached once Kosk's jacks won a flip against Giovanni "harcos85" Petroni to send him to the rail in 10th place for $17,555.

Kosk had the lead to start the final table with Maimone kicking things off in sixth place. The lead shifted around many times between most of the players at the final table.

Bert "ILOVECATS" Stevens, Erik "FortySixand2" Lemarquand, and Murilo "RaiseBluff" Nascimento all hit the rail in succession to start the final table.

Kosk went from chip leader to crumbs after losing a pair of hands to Giovani "Mandjocka" Torre before Maimone sent him to the rail in sixth place.

Sebastian "Mustlaaaveit" Sikorski and Nikolay "PROMsGT" Motsenko both hit the rail within hands of each other to leave the action at three-handed play.

The lead bounced around between all three players before Torre found himself short after he jammed his queen-jack into Maimone's big slick. Maimone took the rest of Torre's stack when his queen-six got there against his opponent's king-nine.

Maimone began heads up play against Bittar with a negligible chip lead. The lead was extended to a 6:1 chip advantage before Bittar trimmed it to an approximate 3:1 chip advantage.  카지노사이트 순위

In the final hand of the tournament, Bittar limped from the button with ace-five before he called off for more than 20 big blinds after Maimone with king-eight. A king hit the board and Bittar had to settle for the handsome $228,212 top prize. Meanwhile congrats to Nick "rdcrsn" Maimone for winning his first WSOP gold bracelet.
