NLH Megastack Tournament Concludes with Eric Wasylenko as the Champion
The NLH Megastack tournament, a $560 event, attracted 410 entries across two starting flights, surpassing pre-game predictions of 150 and Deerfoot staff's forecast of 125 [1]. The first day of the tournament, Day 1A, had 177 entries.
The tournament concluded last night with an exciting final table, where Eric Wasylenko emerged victorious. Jerry Li, who had previously bested Wasylenko in a 6-Max game, finished second. The final table consisted of eight players, with Chase Bonertz and James Chalcroft also making it into the top five, each holding chips in the low 400s.
The exact prize distribution and the specific winner's payout were not provided in the available information. However, with a total prize pool of $194,750, typical payouts for tournaments of this size often award the winner approximately 20-25% of the total pool, which would equate to a prize of around $39,000–$49,000.
Mal Hagan bagged third place in the tournament with 555,000 chips, while Wasylenko boasted the largest chip stack, with 659,000. Li held the second largest stack, with 633,000 chips.
The NLH Megastack is currently in the Never-Ending Bubble, with the exact number of survivors not yet announced.
