WPTDeeptStacks Iowa

Joe Villhauer (pictured) topped a field of 118 players at a final table that was just under six hours long to win the WPTDeepStacks Iowa Main Event on Monday at the Riverside Casino & Golf Resort. "I don't think it's really sunk in, I'm really just thrilled about it. The money is good, and I finally had a run of good cards in a tournament. I've played in a lot of tournaments where I've got deep, and I just wasn't able to get over the hump," said Villhauer right after scoring the largest cash of his poker career. Villhauer took home $29,875 in prize money, along with the $3,000 WPTDeepStacks Championship package for the WPTDeepStacks Championship in December at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Northern California.

Villhauer was a perennial big stack in the tournament. He was one of the top ten stacks at the start of Day 2, and he was the chip leader at the start of the final table. "It freed up my game, I could make a few moves, and nobody ever got on to that I was making a few moves, because I always play pretty good hands. It worked out well, I'd never been the chip leader in a tournament before, but I watch a lot of poker on TV so I've picked up a little bit I guess," said Villhauer when he was asked about coming into the day as the leader. Villhauer also wanted to give a shout out to Tim Carol, and his family that hosted him here in Iowa this week (Villhauer was born and raised in Iowa City before he moved to Tennessee).

Les cartes ont été lancées à midi entre les neuf derniers joueurs, et l'ambassadeur mondial de WPTDeepStacks, Tristan Wade, a doublé la mise dès la première main de jeu. Quelques minutes plus tard Brandon Pratt éliminé à la neuvième place, puis Colin Lovelock a doublé par Wade deux fois avant Jesse Jones a été éliminé à la huitième place. Gary Brakke a ensuite doublé Wade également, et c'est aussi Brakke qui a envoyé Wade sur le rail à la septième place a short time later. Wade finished in fifth place at the WPTDeepStacks Iowa Event during Season 2, but he wasn't able to improve on that finish this year after a bad run of luck after his initial double up. Wade did secure his record 18th cash on the tour, which is easily more than any other player.

Action hit a bottleneck six handed, as Scotter Clark and John Agnos both doubled up, and it was almost two hours after Wade's exit that Agnos a touché le rail à la sixième place. Lovelock was the other player at this final table that appeared at the Season 2 WPTDeepStacks Iowa final table, but he wasn't able to improve on his previous runner-up finish either. Lovelock did go on a nice run however to terminer à la cinquième place après avoir commencé la journée en tant que short stack.

Le rythme de jeu plus rapide s'est poursuivi lorsque Brakke a pris congé à la quatrième place 20 minutes later. Andrew Leopard then won a massive flip against Scotter Clark, and that left Clark with just 100,000. Clark was able to tripe up before he est tombé à la troisième place la prochaine fois, il a fait tapis.

Leopard took 2.4 million into the heads-up final against Villhauer's 500,000, but Villhauer scored two double ups to pull into the lead. Leopard then doubled up once before the final hand of the tournament.

Lors de la dernière main, Leopard a limpé depuis la petite blind et Villhauer a checké son option depuis la grosse blind. Ils ont vu un flop de , and Leopard checked. Villhauer bet 90,000, and Leopard check-raised all in for 660,000. Villhauer took a few moments to think it over before tossing in one chip signifying a call. The two players then flipped over their cards.

Villhauer :  Leopard: 

Villhauer a montré une top paire et un tirage quinte ventral, et Leopard devait améliorer sa possession de paire intermédiaire et un tirage quinte ouvert. Le  au tournant, et le  on the river were no help to Leopard, and he is the runner-up, taking home his largest career tournament score of $20,921. Villhauer was the champion of the WPTDeepStacks Iowa Main Event, and he won $29,875, un $3,000 WPTDeepStacks Championship package, and the WPTDeepStacks trophy.

Congratulations to our new WPTDeepStacks Champion - Joe Villhauer!
