The World Series of Poker $1,000 buy-in NLHE Online Championship event over the weekend turned out to be something of an endurance test, running for over 15 hours with a four-hour final table and a two-hour heads up.
The event pulled in 1,635 entries (1,180 unique players and 455 re-entries) generating a prize pool worth $1,553,250 which allowed 180 players to cash.
Chicago poker pro Ryan “Toosick” Tosoc started his main run for the top fairly late in the game but managed to turn it into his first WSOP bracelet and the main prize of $283,778 after defeating Anthony ‘flawlessbink’ Maio in an exciting heads up in which the lead changed at least six times; Maio worked hard for his runner-up prize of $175,206.
