The World Series of Poker $3,000 no-limit hold’em shootout event drew 389 players, creating a total prize pool of $1,061,970. Players were tasked with winning an initial nine or ten-handed table to make the money, followed by a four-handed table to make the final table of 10.

After three long days of action, Memphis, Tennessee’s Kory Kilpatrick emerged with the victory over a tough final table that included Narendra Banwari (10th), Dylan Linde (9th), Taylor Paur (7th), Phil Galfond (6th), Chris Bell (5th) and Eric Wasserson (2nd).

“There were really no bad players here, everyone played solid,” said Kilpatrick. “I was really focused and I was really feeling it today. It feels great.”

Kilpatrick earned his first WSOP gold bracelet and the first-place prize of $254,891. He now has $687,000 in career tournament earnings.
