Prize Pool:  $53,505
April 26-27, 2022

The last multi-flight tournament before the Main Event kicked off on Tuesday and the RunGood Deep Stacks drew 261 entries over the two starting flights. By the end of the tournament on Wednesday, Sean Shah had an outright win for $12,079.

Those entries were enough to turn the $25,000 guarantee into a $53,505 prize pool. They saw 34 players return for Day 2 and everyone was in the money. Jacob Dolehanty came back with a big chip lead but fell short of the title in fourth place.

Shah took command of the tournament at the final table and had a huge chip lead when he began heads-up play with Patrick Tobar. The tournament was done a few hands into the match and Shah took the title.

This is his second Coco title, another trophy to go along with the one he won for capturing the 2017 Coco Poker Showdown $350 Deep Stacks.

Congrats Sean!
