Full Flush Poker sending leaderboard winner 'DirtyStack' to WSOP Main Event
5 Jun 2015
DirtyStack, a 23 year-old College student from Brooklyn New York, amassed 435 Gold Bracelets from February 1 until the close of the competition, 74 ahead of his nearest rival jeur0, who finished out the four-month run with 361 Gold Bracelets.
“This is our first year of sending players to Vegas for the WSOP, and we’re excited to have an up-and-comer, and such a deserving winner as DirtyStack, representing us in poker’s ‘Big Dance’. We created a prize package that will give him both a taste of the luxury life in Vegas and a shot at life-altering money, and we wish him the best of luck in Sin City,” said a Full Flush Poker spokesperson.
Having emerged as FFP’s WSOP Leaderboard winner, DirtyStack be on his way to living the ultimate poker player’s dream of taking a seat in the WSOP Main Event; the $15,000 qualifier prize package includes the $10,000 WSOP No Limit Hold’em Main Event tournament Buy-in, 10 nights 5-Star Accommodation at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas (valued at $2,380), plus $3,000 in cash for travel and other expenses.
“This is my biggest poker win to date. It was a tough grind. I always just played my game, but jeur0 and dm0996 are really good players, who had me sweating right until the end. I think they will both win something big soon,” said DirtyStack.
While he is predominantly an online player, the New Yorker has been testing the waters in a few live poker tournaments for the last 18 months, including several WSOP Circuit events, the Parx Big Stax, and Borgata Poker Opens, achieving mild success. While the WSOP Main Event presents a completely different test of stamina and patience at the tables, DirtyStack is psyched to take on the challenge.
Additional prizes for places 2nd through 20th in FFP’s WSOP Leaderboard Challenge included 2015 Season Passes for various Full Flush Poker big money tournaments. Second placed jeur0 picked up a set of tournament entries for Saturday’s Big $10K GTD and Sunday’s BIG FAT $15K GTD for the remainder of 2015, while dm0996 bagged tournament entries for Sunday’s BIG FAT $15K for the next 7 months for finishing third.
