This huge tournament came to a close in a somewhat unusual fashion. After 189 hands at the final table alone, the final three players decided that they wanted to all move in blind and flip for the title. Uke Dauti was the first to move in for 13,025,000 from the button with 53, with Kevin Albers calling for his last 11,775,000 from the small blind holding J3. Maloney had both his opponents covered and called with the 104. The flop came down K53 to give Dauti two pair and the lead. The 6 on the turn gave Maloney some outs to a straight. The 2 on the river completed Maloney’s draw, locking up the pot and the title for the 31-year-old former hockey player.

“The last hand was pretty interesting,” Maloney told WPT reporters after winning. “The guys had decided that they were exhausted and really didn’t want to play anymore, so we decided to do a flip. It went runner-runner straight, so it was definitely meant for me to get the title and I’ll always remember it, I guarantee.”
The two starting flights in this event saw a massive turnout of more than 1,100 entries. It took three more full days of action to narrow the field down to the final six. Plenty of big names made deep runs in this event, including Jonathan Little (36th – $15,527), Aaron Mermelstein (22nd – $21,784), Justin Liberto (19th – $26,240), Vanessa Selbst (14th – $39,950), Ryan D’Angelo (11th – $48,979) and Nick Pupillo (7th – $100,657).
2019 WPT Borgata WInter Poker Open runner-up David Farah entered the final day as the chip leader with six remaining. 2006 WPT Foxwoods Poker Classic main event winner Victor Ramdin came into the day with the shortest stack, and ultimately was the first to hit the rail. Ramdin got his last chips in with KK up against the J8 of Kevin Albers. The 954 flop kept Ramdin well ahead, but the 7 turn gave Albers a gutshot straight draw. The 10 on the rivered filled his straight, earning Albers the pot and sending Ramdin to the rail as the sixth-place finisher with $130,672.

Five handed play continued for more than 11 orbits until the next big showdown arose. With a flop of A75, Jerry Maher got all-in with the 43 for a straight flush draw. Uke Dauti called Maher’s shove with A7 for top two pair. The 7 on the turn left Maher drawing to just the 2. The K gave him a flush, but it wasn;t enough to overcome Dauti’s full house. Maher took home $171,386 as the fifth-place finisher.
It only took 31 more hands for the next elimination to arrive. All the chips got in on a Q759 board, with David Farah holding Q7 for two pair. Maloney had flopped bottom set with the 55, though, and raised all-in to put Farah at risk. Farah called and was in need of a queen or a seven. The 3 was no help and Farah was knocked out in fourth place ($227,077).
The final three players battled it out for more than 20 orbits before making the decision to do a three-way flip. When the final hand arose, Maloney had Uke Dauti and Kevin Albers covered. As the shortest stack to start the hand, Albers was awarded $303,903 as the third-place finisher. Dauti earned $410,787 as the runner-up.
“With a WPT title not only do I feel more accomplished, but it’s literally set in stone that I was a champion at the highest level of poker,” Maloney said after winning. “I’ve definitely had some deep runs these last few years, but I was never a WPT champion. This is feeling really great right now. It hasn’t really set in yet, but I’m super stoked.”

The second day of Event #1: $600 Deepstack Kick Off came to a slamming halt during the 28th level of play, with just 16 remaining of the original 318 that started Day 2. Bagging the largest stack by nights end was Benson Tang, who caught fire during the last level of the night.
Tang found himself take part in two key hands during the end of the night that resulted in him catapulting to a 9,950,000 stack, good enough to secure the chip lead. Jeffrey Hong unfortunately was on the losing end of one of those hands, running his kings into the aces of the end-of-day chip leader. Hong failed to spike a cowboy, losing a heavy portion of his stack and he failed to take any back, finishing at the bottom of the totem pole with 515,000.

A total of 2,504 entry slips were compiled for the tournament, accumulating a total prize pool of $1,311,596 which easily sailed by the one million guarantee that was offered. The top 250 finishers were guaranteed at least a min-cash of $1,102 with the eventual champion pulling in $228,142 for their first-place finish. The remaining 16 players returning for Day 3 have all secured at least $6,755 for their efforts with a top-nine finish pulling in $19,674.
Nipping at the heels of Tang in second place on the leaderboard is Frank Marasco with a healthy stack of 9,195,000. Marasco built a stack up throughout the day on a steady pace and seemed to always be adding chips after every round of play. The Morris Plains, New Jersey native was looking like the clear-cut favorite to bag the lead until the last few hands of the night where Tang took over. Marasco has over $135,000 in tournament earnings, with his biggest cash coming in the Borgata poker room for $78,710.
Rounding out the top three is Brittney Barnes with 8,935,000. Barnes swung for the fences during the early parts of the day and it paid off as she took down a few key pots early enough to claim the title of table captain. She applied an immense amount of pressure through the latter stages of the night, climbing at a steady pace until the last hand of the night where she vaulted near the top of the chip counts in a three-way pot that resulted in two eliminations. Boris Gandman moved all in from the button with ace-jack and the small blind player quickly followed suit shoving over the top for a little over a million. Barnes snap-called with queens and the rest is history as she sent two out during the last hand of the night, cementing a top-three stack for the final day of play.
The remaining 16 players will be returning Saturday at noon to battle it out until a winner is crowned, taking home the $228,128 first-place prize. Play will resume on level 28 with the blinds at 40,000/80,000 and a big blind ante of 80,000. Levels will be bumped up to 60-minutes in length and there will be a 15-minute break after every two levels of play.
