What was supposed to be a two-day event has wrapped in one as the remaining five players in Event 13 agreed to a deal. As chip leader, William Kopp was declared the official winner.
“This is only my second event of the series. I cashed in the Main Event and I wasn’t even planning on playing today, but I took a look at the field and figured I’d just hop in,” Kopp told us afterward. “I want to play golf tomorrow, so I was fine accepting a deal and wrapping it up tonight.”
Kopp, who resides in Brecksville, OH, is 25 years old. This marks his 30th tournament cash and second victory. He owns more than $200,000 in career earnings.
Here are the payouts reflecting the deal:
1st: William Kopp (Brecksville, OH) – $19,000
2nd: Petko Tsakov (Provincetown, MA) – $15,000
3rd: Nikolai Sears (Davidsburg, MI) – $13,000
4th: Eric Penner (West Palm Beach, FL) – $10,500
5th: Harry Thomas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) – $10,000
