Pedro Garagnani. The event drew a field of 312 entries and the top 35 spots were paid a portion of the $3,120,000 prize pool.
The biggest slice of the pie was awarded on the final day, which lasted all but two and a half hours. Gottlieb recorded his second major victory after earning a his WSOP Online gold bracelet in
Event #43: $10,000 Short Deck No Limit Hold em Championship one year ago. Today s victory came with a payday of $586,074 while Garagnani had to settle for a consolation prize of $451,926.
Action of the Final Day
Nemeth entered the final table with more than two times as many chips as his nearest follower, Nolet. The middle of the pack was quite crowded with several players separated by a few big blinds only. The cards were barely in the air when Pardo was sent to the rail.
Coming into the final table as the shortest stack, Pardo lost a flip with pocket sevens against the ace-queen of Eibinger. Another three contenders bowed out before the first break. Georgia s FlowTao ran into the flopped trips of Nemeth and Dzivielevski also came up short against the Hungarian.
Pedro Garagnani looked him up with the superior pocket tens. Game over for Salas.
The final table became a little less shark-infested when the dangerous
Juan Pardo Dominguez. Rudolph s Spanish executioner could not put those chips to good use because he was the next player out of the door.
Each of the remaining four players locked up a quarter of a million dollars and were only three bust outs away from more than $580,000.
The chip stacks were quite even going into heads-up, but Gottlieb won the key hands and soared into the lead. The final hand took place at the 175,000/350,000/45,000a level, and saw Garagnani open-shove for 3,267,450 with queen-jack. Gottlieb woke up with aces, and made the easiest call of his career. Garagnani improved to trips by the river, but Gottlieb s aces turned into a full house. Victory number one was secured.
2021 GG Spring Festival has been granted and it was
Guillaume Nolet to open the record-breaking series in style. Nolet defeated
Andras Nemeth in the heads-up of
Event H-06: $25,500 Sunday Five Million to score the top prize of $1,084,892. Runner-up Nemeth had to settle for a consolation prize of $813,554 out of a field of 198 entries.
The joint most expensive tournament of the festival came up short of the
ambitious $5 million guarantee by just $50,000 and eight of the nine finalists earned six-figure prizes. With so much money on the line, it still only took fewer than two and a half hours to determine a champion in French-Canadian Nolet.
