Timo Kamphues Takes Down Shooting Stars Event for $90,498; Nikita Kupchin Takes $64,429 for Second Place

The heads up match lasted barely five minutes, with Timo Kamphues’s 5:1 lead (and hot streak) no match for Nikita Kupchin. Once again the chips went in ahead for the short-stack but by the end it was irrelevant, with Kamphues winning at showdown.

Kupchin tried to slow play his pocket by limping the small blind/button but Kamphues had a hand good enough to jam with anyway, holding .

It was all looking good for Kupchin through the flop and turn but the river gave Kamphues the better full house and with it the title, trophy and a cool $90,498 in cash. Kupchin takes home $64,429 for finishing runner up but both players can also take pleasure knowing that at least $51,200 has been raised for 1 Day Sooner as a result of this tournament.
