Event 61: $600 No Limit Hold'em Deepstack ChampionshipWinner          Cole FerraroRunners          3916Paid          588Final Table          9

Twenty-two-year-old Cole Ferraro had his first ever recorded cash in September, winning $4.7k for finishing 7th in a $400 tournament at the Wynn. He is now playing his first WSOP and it's going okay.

He started by winning $13k for a 58th-place finish out of 5,326 in the Millionaire Maker, but that was just for warm-ups. He then entered the $1k Freezeout, which attracted 1,358 entries, and two days later he was heads-up with the chip lead. Holding KK, he got Dalibor Dula all-in pre-flop with A5, and almost closed it but for an Ace on the River. Cole ended up as runner-up, banking $123k. He had a couple of small cashes since and now he's won the Deepstack against almost 4,000 players for a cool $252k.

A new star has been discovered, and he has the bucks to enter whatever he wants, though all his results so far have been in big field low buy-ins. Cole is near the top of the Player of the Year table and is heading the No Limit Hold'em Leaderboard. And he would have even more points and two bracelets if it wasn't for an unlucky River. Not a bad first Series.

588 players cashed in this and we didn't have any of them.

A second bracelet of the Series for Kevin Gerhart, bringing him up to four in total. He has won at both ends, a $10k and a $1,500. This guy has more bracelets in him.

This was another close one for runner-up Dustin Dirksen, who was 4th in #49, the $10k NL2-7. In the past, he has been 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th and now he's had two more top-four results, but the bracelet is still getting away. Surely he'll get there sooner or later.

This was a rare visit to live poker for Eelis Pärssinen. All you high-stakes online PLO regs will know that EEE27 is a two-time Supernova Elite who has been hugely successful at the highest stakes and was the biggest winner in PLO cash games on PokerStars in 2018-2019. In 2020, he won the online EPT Super High Roller for $540k and recorded five top-3 finishes in five days in Party's PLO Poker Masters, including winning the Super High Holler for $440k. He also has plenty of NLHE results, including taking down the FTOPS Main Event. We probably won't see him again for a while.

His heads-up opponent, Noah Bronstein, has been 4th three times and 3rd three times in bracelet events, but never higher, so it was a step forward to record his first 2nd place. It's nice to see a player making progress.

You can tell the Main Event was coming up after this, with previous ME stars, who haven't been around much this year, showing up in the cashes, including Hossein Ensan, Cliff Josephy and Chino Rheem.

This was a third bracelet for Sotiropoulos, but a first "proper" one, with the others being for a WSOPE and an online.
