Peter Konas Wins World Record Iron Man Tournament At Delaware ParkTournament Runs For Over 36 Hours To Break World Record |
|
After a whopping 36 hours, 34 minutes and 41 seconds, the Iron Man Poker Challenge finally concluded early Monday morning at the Delaware Park poker room.
The tournament played from start to finish with no breaks whatsoever. The only time the action was paused was when tournament officials did a chip color up at each individual table.
The unique event drew a total of 192 entrants who put up the $600 buy-in and created a prize pool of $100,608, paying out 18 places.
In the end, it was the Czech Republic’s Peter Konas who claimed the victory, banking $27,160. He defeated Josh Palmer, from Hamptonville, North Carolina, who took home $16,902.
The same event was attempted in 2011 and lasted roughly 32 hours, but according to Poker Room Manager Kevin Castora, the event must last at least 36 hours to set the Guinness criteria for a marathon poker event. With Sunday’s feat, the record now sits with Delaware Park.
