The final day of Event #46: $800 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack has been played to its conclusion. Day 2 started with 120 players that returned to action from a 2,053-entry field and after eight hours of play, it was Chad Norton who came out victorious to win his first WSOP bracelet, along with $214,830 in his first-ever WSOP event.
“In one of the final hands of Day 1 I lost pocket kings against ace-queen for 1.2 million,” Norton continued, “It would have been nice coming into today with a nice chip stack but instead I came in with 380k and fought my way back somehow.”
Norton, an ex-cars salesman turned online poker player hasn’t played many live tournaments and told PokerNews that this in fact was his first-ever live WSOP tournament.
“To be honest I’ve only played in one WPT event and this was my first ever live WSOP tournament,” said Norton. “I play mostly online but I came in on such a downswing so to be able to come in and win my first ever WSOP tournament feels amazing.”
