$1,100 Main Event
Day 3 Completed
After a heads up deal and just under one hour of play, it was New Jersey born recreational player who took down the 608 entrant field in Event #6: No Limit Hold'em Main Event At Seminole Casino Coconut Creek for a career best score of $80,268.
“I haven’t fully grasped it yet,” said an elated Grechnikov after winning. His career best score prior to winning was $16,153 and with a career total of of $54,030. It has now over doubled and Grechnikov will now “have more money to play more tournaments.”
Grechnikov came into the final day with second in chips. While dropping down the counts through a big early pot, he managed to double up and knock out 2 of his three opponents including Jason Wandling heads up.

Final Table Recap
The first casualty of the final table was Jacob Ristich when he four-bet moved all-in with pocket queens only to get snapped by the pocket aces of Timothy “T.K.” Miles. Ristich collected $11,117 for his ninth place finish.
The following player to be eliminated was Leroy Grant who moved all-in with ace-queen on cutoff and was snapped off by Gretzfield with pocket tens. No ace or queen could be found on the runout of the board and Grant collected his eighth place winnings of $14,827.
Start of day chip leader Kevin Blewitt could not get much going at the final table and he found himself all-in and at risk against Jason Wandling with nine-seven against ace-ten. No improvement was given and Blewitt was ousted in seventh place for $18,595.
Day 1a chip leader Matthew Lambrecht found himself eliminated in sixth place for $22,600 when he got in ace-jack versus Miles’ ace-ten only for Miles to hit three tens on the runout, giving him the chip lead.
Miles’ chip lead was not to last though, as through a series of double ups and massive chip exchanges, Miles found himself all in with ace-king of hearts against the pocket queens of Wandling. No ace, king, or heart flush was able to appear on the ten high runout and last year's runner-up finisher found his run coming to an end in fifth place for $27,607.
The remaining four players came back today at 2 PM with blinds at 150,000/300,000 and a deal was made rather quickly to guarantee everyone $65,000, leaving the winner to take home $80,268 and the Pro-Am seat.
Start of Day Chip Leader Matthew Bretzfield saw his hopes dashed when after doubling up Grechnikov, he moved in his remaining five big blinds from the button with eight five suited against Grechnikov in the small blind who called with queen jack suited. The board ran out jack high and Bretzfield took home $65,000.
WPT Sochi Champion Denys Shafikov saw an early double to put himself at the top of the chip counts, but lost a big pot against Grechnikov when his ace-queen lost to ace-two. He was left with two big blinds and could not improve his eight-seven against Jason Wandling’s ace-six and Shafikov finished in third place for $65,000.
Heads up saw Grechnikov come in with the lead, but Wandling doubled up quickly when Grechnikov’s open ended straight draw did not improve against the top pair of Wandling. Afterwards when stacks evened out, both players got it in. Grechnikov held pocket tens and Wandling held ace-queen. The board ran out seven high and Wandling shook hands as the runner-up finisher.
