Both the WPTDeepStacks<\/a> Opener<\/strong> and Mini Opener<\/strong> events crowned their champions on October 11 with those champions padding their partypoker bankrolls with a combined $$48,319. Aleksandr Zhilin<\/strong> won the $215 Opener with Dominic Burn<\/strong> taking down the $22 Mini Opener.<\/p>\n

Zhilin Becomes a WPTDeepStacks Champion<\/h2>\n

Aleksandr Zhilin can forever call himself a WPTDeepStacks champion after he triumphed in the $215 buy-in $200,000 guaranteed Opener<\/strong>. Some 1,125 partypoker players bought in over the course of several Day 1s, and the 168 surviving players returned to the action on Day 2 on October 11.<\/p>\n

Each of the Day 2 players were in the money, and each had an eye on the $37,047 top prize. Establish pros including Andy Black<\/strong>, Sylvain Loosli<\/strong>, Robin Ylitalo<\/strong>, Fabio Sperling<\/strong><\/a>, and our very own Matthew Staples<\/strong><\/a> cashed but failed to reach the seven-handed final table. Staples crashed out in 11th place for a $2,557 score.<\/p>\n

Swedish legend Niklas Astedt<\/strong><\/a> navigated his way to the final table, although his time there was short-lived. Astedt bowed out in seventh for $4,369, much to the relief of the other six finalists.<\/p>\n

Alessandro Cirillo<\/strong> and Matthew Sherman<\/strong> saw their tournaments end abruptly. The elimination of the latter locking in a five-figure prize for the remaining four players.<\/p>\n

Austria’s Fabio Breitfuss<\/strong> was the first player to net five figures, his fourth-place finish came with $11,783. Fellow Austrian Manfred Hermann<\/strong> joined Breitfuss on the rail, doing so with $17,312 more in his partypoker account that a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n

Zhilin found himself heads-up against one of online poker’s greats, Jans Arends<\/strong>. Zhilin did not let that faze him, and he emerged victorious to scoop $37,047, resigning Arends to a $25,471 consolation prize. No doubt we will see all the finalists in WPTDeepStacks action in the coming week or so.<\/p>\n

Burn Banks Mini Opener Top Prize<\/h2>\n

The Mini Opener<\/strong> attracted 3,875 players to the partypoker felt, and 577 of those starters progressed to October 11th’s Day 2. Everyone who reached the seven-handed final table enjoyed at least $1,243 from their $22 investment; Mikalay Burtyl<\/strong> got his hands on that sum when he fell in seventh.<\/p>\n

Brazilian pair Joao Pedro Lobo<\/strong> ($1,672) and Alonne Martins Fernandes<\/strong> ($2,343) were the next players to bust, before Peter Shaw<\/strong> ($3,412), and Jim Cooke<\/strong> (5,067) crashed and burned, leaving Dominic Burn<\/strong> heads-up against Slovenian grinder Marko Blazic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The one-on-one battle went Burn’s way, and he became a worthy recipient of the $11,272 top prize. Blazic, while disappointed not to secure the victory, walked away with the $7,572 runner-up prize.<\/p>\n

Another 100x $1,100 Main Event Seats Guaranteed This Week<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to the WPTDeepStack events and side events, there are plenty of Main Event satellites running on October 12 and, indeed, the rest of the week. They start at a mere $0.01 and all roads point towards the WPTDeepStacks Main Event Day 1B Mega Sat: $100 x x$1,100 Gtd [Phase Final]<\/strong>, which runs from 16:05 BST on October 17.<\/p>\n

The Day 1A Mega Sat awarded 100 seats, and 14 of those seat winners navigated their way through Day 1A<\/strong><\/a>, so are already guaranteed a healthy return on their satellite buy-in. Four of those 14 progressed with a top ten stack, so have a legitimate shot at scooping the lion’s share of the $1 million guaranteed prize pool. Perhaps you can do the same this week?<\/p>\n
