Online World Series of Poker Super Circuit: Champie 'kiddchamp' Douglas Wins Main Event

The marquee event of the 2020 WSOP.com Super Circuit Series is now in the books. The $200,000 guaranteed, $525 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event kicked off at 2:00 p.m. PST on Sunday, March 29. By the time registration came to a close nearly four hours after the first digital cards were dealt, a total of 1,134 entries had been made, with 763 unique players and 371 re-entries. As a result, the prize pool surged to $567,000, beating the guarantee by $367,000.

It took 12 hours and 28 minutes to narrow the massive field down to a winner, but in the early morning hours, Champie ‘kiddchamp’ Douglas emerged victorious with his first WSOPC gold ring and the top prize of $134,410.

Douglas defeated a stacked final table on his road to the title, including overcoming 2017 WSOP main event champion Scott “2Due4U” Blumstein heads-up to secure the title. Blumstein earned $68,890 as the runner-up finisher.

Two-time World Poker Tour champion Brian “JackBogle” Altman took home $34,020 as the fourth-place finisher, after having previously won event 3 of this series for $32,781. 2016 WSOP main event runner-up finisher Gordon “veilleux” Vayo placed fifth for $28,350. It was his fourth cash of the series.

David “dwpoker” Williams earned $22,680 as the sixth-place finisher. The 2004 WSOP main event runner-up participated in quite the first hand after buying into this event. He took to Twitter to share the screenshot that saw him get all in with a set of eights against two opponents who had straight flush draws, one of whom already had flopped a straight. The lower straight flush draw got there on the turn, only to have the higher draw hit their one out on the river. Needless to say, Williams rebought and was able to earn a nice return eventually.
