He managed to move up to second in chip counts and stayed there for a bit before going down again after losing some of his chips to <strong>Igor Kurganov<\/strong> for a failed bluff.<\/p>\n<p>The first two players to leave the final table were <strong>Christoph Vogelsang<\/strong> who finished in 8th place for $281,025 and <strong>Sergi Reixach<\/strong> who finished 7th for $353,202. After the first break of the day, the curtain close for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/poker-pro-dominik-nitsche-opens-up-about-his-high-roller-lifestyle\">Dominik Nitsche<\/a><\/strong> who finished 6th for $457,772. The four-time bracelet winner hit the rail after Kurganov rivered a three-outer. Nitsche was quickly followed by Brandon Adams in 5th place for $611,258. <\/p>\n<p>With four players remaining, Negreanu scored a double for the third time with ace-eight against Kurganov\u2019s king-queen. The latter was eventually eliminated by Tilston in 4th place for $840,183. <strong>Nick Schulman<\/strong> went soon after as he was left with less than two big blinds after Negreanu doubled through him twice. He took home $1,187,802 for his third-place finish.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tilston-takes-out-negreanu\">Tilston Takes Out Negreanu<\/h2>\n<p>Tilston was slightly behind Negreanu in chips when heads-up play started. The Canadian pro increased his lead during the initial stages of play, but Tilston would not give in and closed the gap after a calling a shove from Negreanu. The latter managed to regain his lead, but the crucial hand came when Tilston was able to win a decisive pot, giving him a significant chip advantage by the time the final hand was dealt. <\/p>\n<p>Negreanu went all-in with ace-deuce against Tilston\u2019s queen-jack. It looked like Negreanu would score his sixth double, but Tilston\u2019s rivered pair of jacks blocked his way into winning his seventh bracelet. Negreanu walked away with $1,725,838 for his second place finish.  <\/p>\n<p>This was <a href=\"https:\/\/pokerdb.thehendonmob.com\/player.php?a=r&amp;n=48189\">Keith Tilston<\/a>\u2018s first seven-figure score, bringing his total live tournament earnings to $6,417,509.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biggest buy-in event of the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was won by American poker pro Keith Tilston.
