WSOPC Ring Event #11: Deepstack Bounty Hunters – NeverGambol – $ 73,087.42

The Deepstack Bounty Hunters event ignited a mob of 3,297, each one in hot pursuit of the next WSOP gold ring. It took over twelve hours of play for the event to wrap up with Lithuania’s NeverGambol emerging victorious. For the achievement, NeverGambol earned $ 47,444.72 plus $ 25,642.70 in bounties for a combined $ 73,087.42.

The event opened with under 1000 players but after 260 minutes of late registration, the hunters piled in to boost up the prize pool to $ 659,400. Among the players in the money but outside of the final table were recent ring winners JoaoValli (79th), BlaireauEnColere (270th), and first installment winner Chi Jen Chu “PetitFoxx” (160th).

The final table kicked off with Simply_The_Best leading the chase. Jackwu9011123 and NeverGambol went on a mad rush knocking out players that by three-handed, both had incredibly massive stacks. Jackwu901123 went on to eliminate eFjey in 3rd place to face NeverGambol up over 3:1 in chips.

For NeverGambol, it was a choppy final battle for the ring. After scooping up a double up, NeverGambol proceeded to lose two pots on a failed bluff.

Two minutes later, it was jackwu9011123 who lost a chunk on a failed bluff givingNeverGambol the lead for the first time. From there, NeverGambol finished it with pocket queens dusting pocket fours.
