After 12 hours of grinding online, Jason 'TheBigGift' Gooch has come out on top of the $1,000 WSOP.com ONLINE No-Limit Hold'em Double Stack event.

Position | Player | Country | Prize |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Jason 'TheBigGift' Gooch | United States | $241,492.94 |
2 | Brian 'Pure__reason' Wood | United States | $148,542.85 |
3 | Anthony 'Scrotile' Augustino | United Sates | $104,980.41 |
4 | Dario 'Sirio87' Sammartino | Italy | $75,094.55 |
5 | Timothy 'Stucksoomuch' Wong | United States | $54,453.05 |
6 | Ran 'Margarete' Koller | United States | $40,143.29 |
7 | Gianluca 'inmyhouse' Speranza | Italy | $29,885.86 |
8 | Justin 'KingFortune' Liberto | United States | $22,541.03 |
9 | Max 'Max Sparrow' Pescatori | Italy | $17,348.99 |
Besides coming close to winning his first WSOP bracelet just a couple of weeks ago, Gooch has also cashed in a few live World Series of Poker tournaments this summer including finishing in 51st place for $4,083 in the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, and finishing 162nd for $2,248 in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha.
The final table was a stacked affair featuring Max 'Max Sparrow' Pescatori (ninth - $17,348.99), Justin 'KingFortune' Liberto (eight, $22,541.03), and Dario 'Sirio87' Sammartino (fourth for $75,084.85).
Pescatori got it in with seven-jack suited but was unable to get a triple as Augustino and countryman Sammartino chopped up his stack with king-nine for both. Ran 'Margarete' Koller got it in with queens against Sammartino's ace-king and saw the latter hit an ace on the flop.
Timothy 'Stucksoomuch' Wong got it in as a small dog holding king-four to Augustino's ace-six. Neither player hit anything and the tournament was down to four players. Sammartino followed him out of the door, busting with king-queen to the eventual winner's ace-jack.
In what was now a rapid game of poker, Anthony "Scrotile" Augstino was out only minutes later. He got it in with queen-six against king-queen and couldn't hit a six or any other sort of help.
The heads-up took a little bit longer, with the lead shifting a couple of times. Eventually, Jason 'TheBigGift' Gooch got out ahead against Brian 'Pure__reason' Wood. In the last hand of the tournament, Gooch flopped trips and saw no threats appear on the turn or river against Wood's inferior hand.
After an hour of heads up going back and forth, all of the chips went in the middle on the turn after 'TheBigGift' had flopped trip fours. 'Pure__reason' couldn't catch up on the river and with that, it was over and another bracelet winner had been decided.
'Pure__reason' came so close to getting the WSOP gold bracelet but finished in 2nd place for $148,542.
