The WPTDeepStacks London wrapped up at 888poker with a bang on Monday, April 26 with the second and final day of the WPTDeepStacks #15 - $1,000,000 Main Event.
The event was broadcasted live on the newly relaunched 888pokerTV Twitch channel with hosts Nick Wealthall and David Tuchmann announcing the action with guests throughout the evening.
Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche Final Tables Another Big Event
It appeared that 888poker Ambassador Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche was about to find gold yet again at 888poker in this event as he was just one of the well-known players at the final table alongside Tom "sheeeeeeeeet" Hall, Fabiano "FranciscoAI" Kovalski, and Kelvin "Kelvin_kerbe" Kerber.
Nitsche is one of the most recognizable players in poker with four WSOP gold bracelets along with nearly $19 million in live tournament earnings as tracked by The Hendon Mob to go along with at least $7 million in online earnings as tracked by PocketFives.
Back in October, Nitsche wowed the fans by shipping the Millions Superstorm Main Event for $121,146 and he was hoping for yet another big win at 888poker. This was not to be as Nitsche bowed out in eighth place for $21,740.
This was still an incredible score but paled to the $233,705 top prize won by Brazil's "paulinhoo00" after they bested "AllanSheik" in heads-up play.
The $1,050 buy-in Main Event was just one of the big success stories of the festival with 1,087 entries generating a $1,087,000 prize pool to smash the lofty $1,000,000 guarantee.
