Jussi Rintalahati Wins Superstack

The two-day Superstack resumed with the final 9 players out of the 156 runners hunting down the lion’s share of the US$ 39,948 prize pool. Finland’s Jussi Rintalahti entered as chip leader, and in the end, he held on to capture the win and his career second PokerStars spade.

The final hand was quite a doozy with Andrei Budykin all in with J♦10♦. Budykin landed two pair by the turn 10♠8♦5♦J♣ but when the river landed 9♥, Rintalahati’s K♣7♦ burned it to deny the double up and ship the win.

Out of the US$ 23,047 prize pool, it was Matuphoom Pangsriviniji who prevailed in a swinging heads up Gregory Winyard that could have gone either way. After Pangsriviniji doubled up with A♣10♦ over K♠3♠, he went on to win it with 6♠6♦ set beating K♠J♠ on a board 6♥K♥A♣7♥5♠.
