GritinhO_Dzi Wins WPTDeepStack #9 - $200,000 PKO
Event #9 was another $200,000 guaranteed affair, but a tournament played as a Progressive Knockout. Some 320 players bought in on December 5 and played down to the nine-handed final table. Those finalists returned to the action on December 6, and it was "GritinhO_Dzi" who walked away with the title plus the lion’s share of the $200,000 prize pool.
The Brazilian champion got his hands on an impressive $40,500, which sets him up nicely for the remainder of the festival. GritinhO_Dzi defeated Germany’s "Ersin_199090" heads-up, the German sat down at the final table as the chip leader.
Others who reached the final but fell short of the title incluced sixth-place finisher Ricardo "ricardo_ns8" Nascimento and Kelvin "Kelvin_kerbe" Kerbe who finished in fourth-place.
