Below you can watch the conclusion of the event, which was streamed on PokerGo:
Dalibor Dula wins $1,000 Freezout No Limit Hold’em
Dalibor Dula took down his first bracelet on Thursday night when he won Event #26, the $1,000 Freezeout No Limit Hold’em for $199,227. Dula outlasted 1358 players over the two-day event including Cole Ferraro heads-up. Maurice Hawkins, a 14-time WSOP Circuit Ring winner, finished in 9th place to win $17,270.
Dula, a player from the Czech Republic, only had around $30k in recorded cashes to his name prior to the victory. After the victory, Dula noted that he got lucky throughout the final table. “I was just so focused. I did not really think about the flips. Once you are all in, it is out of your hands, you can’t do anything to win that all in or lose it.”
