The $1,000 buy-in NLHE Double Stack event at the World Series of Poker was taken down Thursday by Las Vegas poker pro Robert Peacock, who bested a field of 5,700 to claim his first WSOP winner’s bracelet and the main prize of $644,224.
The massive field and rate of attrition meant that an extra (fifth) day was required to complete the event with Peacock facing his last two opponents, Josh Turner and Nicholas Salimbene, on the final day.
When Turner busted out at third for $294,760 at the hands of Peacock, the heads up stage was reached, in which an on-fire Peacock made relatively short work of Salimbene, sending him away with the runner-up prize of $397,908.
Other final table cashes included:
4th: Jacky Wong – $219,952
5th: Ralph Wong – $165,342
6th: Daniel Eichhorn – $125,215
7th: James Ostrowski – $95,538
8th: Pfizer Jordan – $73,446
9th: Takao Shimizu – $56,891
