Event 3, $5,100 No-Limit Hold‘em
In the last tournament with a buy-in of $5,100, Ethan Yau and Sam Laskowitz could not capitalize on their good position and had to settle for 5th and 4th place.
Instead, the American Cherish Andrews secured the victory after a deal with Adam Hendrix.
In the winner’s interview, she admitted that she hesitated for a long time to even play the tournament because she had been in a tough downswing.
Now she collected $117,407 and can look forward again with optimism.
Event 3 had 115 entries generating a prize pool of $575,000, which was distributed among the following 17 players.

With 66 entries, including Christopher Frank and Marius Gierse, the first 10k tournament kicked off.
Unfortunately, our two DACH pros came up empty and could not get a slice of the prize money pie.
The $666,000 will be split among the top ten, with Event #3 winner Cherish Andrews immediately adding another cash.
After Brandon Wilson’s exit in 6th place, the five finalists were set. Jeremy Ausmus leads, already holding twice as many chips as Sam Soverel and thus is the favorite for the $198,000 first prize.
