Kammar Andries

Kammar Andries came out of nowhere last February to become an unlikely champion in the February 2018 Coco WSOP Circuit Main Event. After several four-digit cashes, he won the Main Event for more than $240K and a nice bankroll boost for the poker amateur. Andries backed up that title today when he conquered the $400 Double Stack Turbo tournament for his second WSOPC ring.

The fast-paced tournament attracted 188 entries and it more than doubled its $30,000 guaranteed prize pool. They combined to put $62,040 in the pool and, as one would expect in a turbo, they quickly hit the money after the dinner break.

Andries nearly gave away the tournament once it reached the final table. Wearing his headphones, he live-misclick called a shove and lost the majority of his stack. Andries was facing some tough competition with his shorter stack including former SHRP champions Ory Hen, Zoltan Czinkota, and Carlos Loving.

Andries regained the lead late and caught aces when he was heads-up with Loving to earn the title. He took home $16,131 for the victory, his second biggest score behind only the $241,000 he won last year in the WSOPC Main Event, and he now owns a second ring.
