Edward Pham Eliminated in 2nd Place ($84,000)
Kind of an unusual final chapter to write here from the Sands Bethlehem casino, as the final two players, Chris Klodnicki and Edward Pham, have made arrangements essentially to forgo heads-up play, with Klodnicki technically earning the title of the first Bethlehem DeepStack Extravaganza Main Event champion.
The pair had a discussion prior to the start of heads-up play during which the terms of their arrangement were settled upon. At that point a hand played out that saw Pham push all in and Klodnicki call, then Pham muck his hand. For the sake of trivia, Klodnicki's winning hand was and the board ran out .
Back shortly with a full wrap-up of the day's events.
