Anatoly Suvarov emerged victorious from a field of 9,835 entrants in the 2020 World Series of Poker Online $150 buy-in no-limit hold’em freezout event. For the win the Russian earned his first WSOP gold bracelet and the top prize of $183,526, or roughly 1,223 times the buy in.

This event featured a $1,000,000 guarantee, which was easily surpassed when the massive turnout created a final prize pool of $1,357,230 in this affordable buy-in event. The top 1,232 finishers in this tournament made the money, with a min-cash being worth $343.

One had to make it all the way to the nine-handed final table to lock up a payday of five figures or more. When final-table action began it was Jean-Francois Alexandre who sat with the largest stack, while Suvarov was in third chip position. Alexandre extended his lead even further by scoring the first elimination of the final table. His A4 beat out the QJ of William Overmire to send him packing in ninth place ($10,195).

Andre Grohnert was the next to fall. It folded to him in the small blind and he shoved with J-3 offsuit. David Edelstein picked up A-6 offsuit in the big blind and made the call. Edelstein flopped trip sixes to take a massive lead Grohnert was drawing dead after the turn and was eliminated in eighth place ($14,632). Adam Cader’s run in this event came to an end when his A8 ran into the AQ of Amine Hamza. Neither player improved and Cader settled for $21,000 as the seventh-place finisher.

Hector Caldero got the last of his chips in with the K8 and was called by Edelstein out of the big blind with K5. Edelstein flopped a five to take the lead and held from there to send Caldero to the rail in sixth place ($30,140). Edelstein continued his knockout spree by busting Jean-Francois Alexandre in fifth place. Alexandre shoved from the button for just over 10 big blinds holding Q9 and Edelstein called from the small blind with the AJ. Ace high was the best hand bu the river and Alexandre earned $43,256 for his deep run in this event.

The next big confrontation saw Amine Hamza get all-in on a 1043 flop holding 106. He was up against the 65 of Suvarov, who hit his straight draw with the 7 on the turn. The J on the river locked up the pot for Suvarov and Hamza was eliminated in fourth place ($62,081).

Three-handed action saw a number of big swings, but by the time the next elimination took place it was Tom Hoseth who sat with the shortest stack. He got the last of his chips in holding 99 and found himself facing the AQ of Suvarov. The J8578 runout saw Suvarov make an ace-high flush on the river to send Hoseth to the rail with $89,098 for his third-place showing.

With that Suvarov took 54.2 million into heads-up play with Edelstein, who sat with 44.1 million. The two swapped the lead a few times, with Suvarov holding the advantage when the final hand of the event was dealth. With blinds of 800,000-1,600,000 and an ante of 160,000, Edelstein raised to 3,200,000 on the button holding KQ. Suvarov three-bet to just shy of 10 million with 1010 and Edelstein shoved for over 42 million total. Suvarov called with his pocket tens and the board came down J8489. Suvarovs’ pair of tens was enough to secure the pot and the title. Edelstein earned $127,872 as the runner-up finisher.
