On Monday night, the 2020 World Series of Poker Online Event #7: $800 No-Limit Hold’em Knockout Deepstack attracted 989 players, which resulted in a $731,660 prize pool. After nearly 12 hours of play, it was Joon “jykpoker” Kim coming out on top to win a $103,127 top prize, $3,000 in bounties, and his first gold bracelet.
Prior to the win, Kim had 11 WSOP-related cashes totaling a modest $19,113. Five of those cashes have come in WSOP.com events, including an 87th-place finish two days prior in the $1,000 NLH Freezeout event.
Two-time WSOP gold bracelet winner Eric “CircleBall” Baldwin finished in 3rd place ($44,914), while Jeff “mavsusc” Platt finished 7th for $12,657 after entering the final table as the chip leader. The host of the PokerNews Podcast live-streamed his deep run for thousands of excited poker followers on Twitch.
Poker commentator and PokerNews Podcast co-host Jeff “mavsusc” Platt began the final table with the chip lead, but it proved to be a contentious affair with multiple players pulling out in front. Joseph “thehofffx” Hoffman was the first to fall after losing a flip with Big Slick to the pocket jacks of Lee “smallmytable” Gale and then Jonathan “fan_sawyer21” Love followed after suffering a bad beat with ace-ten against Eric “CircleBall” Baldwin’s ten-nine when a nine spiked on the turn.
