Sung Joo Hyun (pictured) topped a field of 812 inscriptions pour gagner la saison 6 WPTDeepStacks Venetian Main Event on Monday at The Venetian Resort. He took home his first WPTDeepStacks title worth $208,355, et cela inclut un $3,000 lot de prix de championnat.
"It's like a dream come true actually, everyone wants to win right. I always tell my friends I'm going to win, but it doesn't happen often. It's my first win in a live tournament so it feels very special for me, more than the $200k does," said Hyun when he was asked about his victory in a field of more than 800 entrées.
Hyun had the largest and most vocal group of friends on the rail today, and Hyun had this to say about their support. "They're spending their time to share this with me, so I feel more than happy."
Hyun started his run to the title during five-handed play when he won two pivotal pots against the chip leader at the start of play Wayne Harmon. "We have a history because last night he was sitting next to me and bluffing almost every single pot and tabling the cards. There was something going on between us, so instead of value betting small or checking I overbet every single spot when I had value because I knew he was going to hero call me a lot. That was my strategy again him and it worked out," said Hyun.
After Hyun's two duels with Harmon he held the chip lead all the way until his victory. Here is what he said about shifting gears in his play with the chip lead. "People weren't defending much, but they were folding or shoving. Because I had the chip lead I was raising and just folding mostly versus shoves. So I lost a lot of small pots, but in all the big pots I called I almost always had the winning hand and it worked out. I was trying to put on the pressure," said Hyun.
