Championship: One Year Ago

$3300 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)

Level 3: Blinds 75/150

Matt Burnitz

Matt Burnitz (Bear, DE) was runner-up in this event last year, losing to Ben Hamnett (Pittsburgh, PA).  Matt was unable to overcome the 2:1 chip deficit he faced when heads-up play began. 

It only took about 30 hands and it was over.  His last ~4 million went in pre-flop with JT suited and was trailing Ben's KQ.  A Queen on the board sent the pot to Ben. Matt  took second place and $488,850. 

Matt is back today trying to make history, again.
