The Monster Stack finally came to an end - five days after it started. After crawling for a long time, it finished in a rush, going from six to three players in two hands and then to heads-up a half dozen hands later. 6,700 entries means this event will be back. With over 1,000 players cashing, it is possible I have missed someone.

Some of the finalists have very impressive big-field results. This was Brian Yoon's second massed-field bracelet and his third in total. Stanley Lee has finished in the top 40 of the 7,000-runner Millionaire Maker three years in a row, being 24th, 9th and 39th in 2015-17, and was 3rd in this. Maurice Hawkins is another. This is his second FT this year, 9th in the Marathon last week and now 6th in the Monster Stack. Some players make finals in 100-runner events and tell us how tough the field is. Others do it in tournaments with several thousand entrants. Which is more impressive?


Stanley Lee

Hawkins is a case. He is one of the best players around - you don't win ten WSOP Circuit rings easily (most recently just two months ago), but he is not the best-liked and is known for laying into worse players who suck out on him. There was a high-profile incident the other day when the Marathon was down to 22 players and he lost half his stack when his AA made Aces full but lost to a Royal Flush, and he roundly chastised the other player for the rest of the day for calling pre-flop. He got pretty excited when he doubled up on this FT and kept shouting "Let's Go" six or seven times, oblivious (or uncaring) about the two other final tables playing next to his.


Maurice Hawkins


Heads-up was no foregone conclusion. Yoon was against Ihar Soika, who beat Mercier to win an EPT, but took the bracelet.
