First repeat winner in Dusk Till Dawn Deepstack !
An astonishing comeback was made by Coiln Young to take down his second win in Dusk Till Dawns monthly £300 Deepstack. Colin had won the March event beating 346 players to win £30,761 outright.
This month with the EPT in London and 760 players in Killarney the field was reduced to 316.
When the final started Colin was in 6th place with 292,000 of the 3,160,000 chips in play , he picked his spots to steal the blinds and with 5 players left and blinds of 25,000 50,000 and ante 5000 he had just 200,000 and jokingly suggested a deal.
The four big stacks were intent on winning when waiting one round could have increased there payout by a minimum £1700 if Colin had been knocked out and instead within a few hands we were down to 3 and Colin was up to 400,000 when Dost Ghrabie the chip leader with 1,500,000 moved all in on the button and was called by Neil Harvey the second chip leader on 1,200,000 , Neil held AK , Dost 8T , flop was 7 9 J giving Dost the nuts and from a likely 5th place worth £5121 Colin was now guaranteed £16,217 , a brief discussion regarding a deal ensued but Colin was adamant he wanted to try to be the first player to win the event twice.
His tenacity paid off with a huge slice of luck , Dost had 2,700,000 to Colins 400,000 , first he doubled up winning a race A7 v 33 and on the next hand all the chips were in 44 for Colin v Dost KK , when the 4 hit the turn it was starting to look like being Colins day and just a few hands later having gained the chip lead Dost pushed with 46 only for Colin to find 99 which was good enough to give him his second win and £27,739.
Increasing the £150 Deepstack starting stack from 6000 to 10,000 has definitely attracted more runners , the avearage is now 195 players , with the new 20twenty starting on 24th / 25th October offering exactly the same structure 10,000 chips and a 30 minute clock for just a £100 buy in and a £20,000 guarantee both days , if this is a success there will be 2 big weekends a month at DTD next year.
