In Event #1: $400 Monster Stack, 765 entrants competed over two starting flights, which resulted in a $252,450 prize pool. Among those to finish in the top 111 and make the money was Eddie Stokes (19th - $1,878), Jacob Seale (33rd - $1,313), and Jack Bendetti (65th - $642), just to name a few.
In the end, 24-year-old Cody Coffman of Tulsa, Oklahoma bested Robert Miller in heads-up play to win the title for $47,458 and his first gold ring. He did so by coming into Day 2 as the overall chip leader.
“Yeah, I mean, I didn’t like being top just because it puts pressure on you… but obviously I prefer it. Because of my cash game background, I like playing deeper. It’s better for me anyway,” said Coffman, a full-time student at Northeastern State studying Cyber Security.
He added: “It feels great. I mean, I usually play cash. Cash games are more steady. You don’t come in and buy in for four hundred and win 47k, so it’s just insane. It’s a great feeling … I mean, I’ve played instead of having a job through college and I love it, it’s fun, but it’s just not something I’d want to do as a job. It’s just a hobby… I just want to work full time and play. I’ll still play a ton.”
