Aneris Adomkevicius won his first WSOP bracelet in Event #99: $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold’em. It was an amazing show of skill and planning. There were 1,544 other strong players, but the Lithuanian poker star beat them all to win the $201,355 top prize.
Since the levels were only 20 minutes long, players had to make tough choices from the very beginning of the game. It was important to be good at short-stack poker because the average big blind stack was around 20 during most of the game and dropped to about 15 at the final table.

Action Review of Final Table
The action sharpened when the last ten players gathered at the Horseshoe Event Center. First to go was Octaviano Duran, who came in tenth position when Theo Tran’s full house wiped off his pocket eight. Following on ninth was Edward Small, then Dong Chen following a difficult call from the big blind.
Jakob Miegel’s pocket kings came in seventh place; their improvement to trips came from Mark Newhouse’s ace-ten not holding against. John Holley came in sixth when his ace-ten fell to Theo Tran’s king-jack flush. Kenneth Kim’s ace-king dropped to Peter Bigelow’s ace-high, signaling Kim’s fifth-grade departure.
Next falling in fourth place to Pokerpro pocket sevens was Peter Bigelow. Theo Tran went out in third after his ace-jack fell short of Newhouse’s pocket sevens.
Adomkevicius and Newhouse engaged in a brief but fiercely competitive heads-up duel. Newhouse’s jack-eight fell short of Adomkevicius’s pocket sixes, therefore naming Adomkevicius as the winner of the penultimate WSOP tournament.
