Dimitar Danchev Poker players love going into major tournaments on a run of form, and what better to warm up for the upcoming PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris festival than by taking down one of the toughest online poker tournaments?
That is precisely what Dimitar “KuuL” Danchev did over the weekend. The 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) Main Event champion came out on top in the $5,200 Titans Event online at PokerStars . Danchev’s reward? A significant confidence boost and almost $83,000 in prize money. $5,200 Titans Event Final Table Results
*reflects a heads-up deal
Fifty unique players purchased 28 re-entries between them in this week’s Titans Event, resulting in a $390,000 prize pool. The top 11 finishers saw a return on their hefty $5,200 investment, so spare a thought for Talal “raidalot” Shakerchi , who was the unfortunate soul that popped the money bubble after busting in 12th place.
Sweden’s “mamamamama70,” last week’s Titans Event champion , was the first in-the-money player to find themselves void of chips. Roman “Gogac sniper” Hrabec ‘s exit in tenth place set a star-studded final table.
Each of the finalists locked in more than $12,200 for their efforts, with the eventual winner set to take home $93,196.
Canada’s “Stumpfed” was the first finalist to be eliminated. “SerVlaMin” and Ihar “OMGitshunt” Soika joined the ever-growing list of bustees before “fernandogiac” fell by the wayside in sixth.
Fifth place and $33,242 went to Ukraine’s “drew.derzh,” with Danish superstar Jonathan “x_zola25” Skovsen running out of steam in fourth, a finish good for $43,015. Shortly after Skovsen’s untimely demise, Belarusian “|gammil|€120” busted, leaving Danchev heads-up against Damian “pampa27” Salas .
With both players armed with relatively evenly sized stacks, the heads-up duo struck a deal that skimmed a shade over $10,000 from the top prize and awarded it to second place. The deal meant Salas officially finished in second place and banked $82,246, leaving Danchev to pad his bankroll with $82,973.
