May Deepest Stack Flashback: Geddes Cooper on Top in 2017
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Two years ago, in 2017, this tournament drew 465 runners and offered up a $697,500 prize pool. The tournament ended with a three-way deal that saw Geddes Cooper crowned champion for $112,771.
Cooper, a then 35-year-old poker pro born in Kingston, Jamaica but residing in Pembroke Pines, took down the largest score of his career.
“[The][Deepest][Stack] is my favorite tournament,” Cooper told Seminole officials. “This tournament I really, really wanted to play. I ran pretty good and I’m happy about that. That’s about all you can do.”
He continued: “The harder and harder they get, the more I realize how hard it is to win a tournament because everyone’s good. You have to dodge a million bullets and fade a million different things. Every time you do win a tournament, you have to cherish it.”
