Daryn, victor in the "777 Cash" poker competition with a prize of 777 dollars.
In an exciting turn of events, the Cash Club in an unspecified location played host to a thrilling poker tournament on December 9, 2011, with a prize fund surpassing 1,000,000 tenge. The tournament, which attracted a strong field of 61 players, including Akinsev himself, unfolded over several intense hours, with the final table proving to be a nail-biting spectacle.
The tournament kicked off with each player starting with a stack of 20,000 chips, and the blind levels increased every 30 minutes for the first eight levels, before stepping up to 45-minute intervals from level 9 onwards. The tournament structure was widely praised for its excellence and reasonable blind levels, ensuring a fair and engaging experience for all participants.
The final table, which was streamed live on the forum, featured only one non-forum representative - the eventual champion, Darin. Darin, who registered on the forum the very next day after his victory, shared a brief report in the tournament thread, offering a glimpse into the high-stakes action that unfolded.
The journey to the top was not an easy one for Darin. He lost a significant portion of his stack in the first hand at the final table with QQ against 88. However, he managed to recover and take a commanding lead with a crucial hand against Dauren. With a board showing QQ6, Darin landed a full house to secure a pot worth 140,000 tenge.
The final table was a rollercoaster ride, with multiple eliminations including Marlan, Tamerlan, Artem, Zhamilya, and Shpun. Darin also had a close call when he doubled up with AK against AV. Despite these challenges, Darin maintained his composure and eventually emerged victorious.
However, the road to success was not without its twists and turns. Darin lost a substantial 200,000 tenge and his chip lead in a hand against Bars, when the river card brought a 10, giving Bars a straight with K8. But Darin bounced back, demonstrating the resilience that would ultimately lead him to victory.
In a surprising turn of events, Bars refused a deal offer at the final table, opting instead to play for the title. The final hand saw Darin take down the pot, securing his place as the champion.
The tournament concluded with Darin finishing in first place, followed by Bars in second, Akinsev in third, and Roman Paksy13 maintaining order throughout the tournament as the tournament director.
