Nick "FU_15" Maimone Eliminates Everyone at Final Table to Win 2016 PCA $25K High Roller for $996,480

Nível 28 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Nick Maimone - PCA $25,000 High Roller Winner 2016
Nick Maimone - PCA $25,000 High Roller Winner 2016

The 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 High Roller began with 225 entrants (173 unique players + 52 re-entries) who created a $5.4 million prize pool, and after three days of intense play, it was Nick "FU_15" Maimone who eliminated every player at the final table to walk away the winner for $996,480.

Known primarily for his online exploits, Maimone, who hails from North Carolina but now resides in Honduras, managed to eclipse his live lifetime earnings, which previously stood at $881,218. The win was a big cherry on top of a successful 2016 PCA that saw him finish 87th in the LAPT Bahamas Main Event for $4,120 and fifth in Event #42: $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed Turbo Bounty for $10,580.

That money will certainly come in handy as Maimone and his wife are expecting their first child in May.

The day began with nine players returning to action, and it took nearly two hours for the first elimination to occur. That is when a huge three-way all-in pot developed between Maimone, Dario Sammartino and Anton Astapau. All three players held pairs – nine through jacks in fact – with Maimone out in front. The fishhooks held and Maimone more than doubled into the chip lead while sending Astapau to the rail in ninth place $116,640.

From there, Ben Heath was bounced in eighth when his pocket sevens failed to hold against the ace-eight of Maimone, and Chance Kornuth followed him out the door, the low man on the totem pole in a three-way all-in hand.

From there, Maimone eliminated both Andrey Zaichenko and Brian Yoon in sixth and fifth place respectively. The former ran his weak ace into Maimone's ace-jack, while the latter lost a standard coin flip.

In the first hand back from the dinner break, Winter raised to 180,000 under the gun and Maimone called from the button. 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up Josh Beckley, who began the day as chip leader but fell to the short stack, came along from the small blind, Sammartino folded the big, and three players took a flop of {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, which they all checked.

When the {Q-Spades} hit the turn, two checks inspired Maimone to bet 300,000, Beckley called, and Winter got out of the way. The {10-Spades} river put four spades on board, and Beckley checked to Maimone, who bet 525,000. Beckley then check-raised all in for 1.225 million.

"This is a tough one," Maimone said sarcastically before putting in the chips. Beckley confidently tabled the {a-Spades}{5-Spades} for an ace-high flush, but it was no good as Maimone held a straight flush with the {j-Spades}{9-Spades}. Beckley, who earned his seat via $2,700 satellite, was shocked, shook his head, and made his way to the payout desk to collect $439,560 for his fourth-place finish.

Maimone then eliminated Sammartino in third place – the result of the Italian's {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} failing to get there against Maimone's {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} – and took a slight chip lead into heads-up play against Winter. That is when the two opted to strike a deal that saw Maimone lock up $966,480, Winter $914,580, and $30,000 plus the trophy left on the table.

Maimone quickly pulled out to a healthy lead, and in what would be the last hand of the tournament raised to 250,000 from the button and then snap-called when Winter three-bet all in.

Maimone: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Winter: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Winter had a major kicker issue, and it failed to resolve itself as the board ran out a clean {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

By finishing as runner-up, Winter surpassed his previous best score of $562,772, which came last summer when he emerged victorious in the $10k Bellagio Cup. What's more, Winter admitted he had numerous side bets tied to the result and he is primed to head back to Florida with quite a bit more than what's reported.

Beckley confidently tabled the {a-Spades}{5-Spades} for an ace-high flush, but it was no good as Maimone held a straight flush with the {j-Spades}{9-Spades}. Beckley was shocked at what he likely perceived as a slowroll, shook his head, and made his way to the payout desk.

Brian Yoon - 5th Place
Brian Yoon - 5th Place

Nick Maimone opened for 140,000 under the gun and action folded to Brian Yoon, who moved all in from the big blind for 1.035 million. Maimone thought about it for roughly a minute and then spiked in a call.

Yoon: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Maimone: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

"Jack, queen, or king," Maimone told his rail after the {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop delivered him a gutshot to Broadway. The {Q-Spades} turn was one of his cards, and suddenly Yoon was looking for a five on the river to stay alive.

Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the {K-Hearts} blanked. Yoon will take home $347,760 for his fifth-place finish.

The action folded to Andrey Zaichenko in the small blind and he moved all in for 830,000 chips. Nick Maimone, in the big blind, looked at his cards and immediately he made the call.

Zaichenko: {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Maimone: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Zaichenko was sent to the rail in sixth place.

Chance Kornuth - 7th Place
Chance Kornuth - 7th Place

A short-stacked Chance Kornuth open-shipped under the gun for 495,000 and Brian Yoon, who only had 20,000 more than that, moved all in from the cutoff. Nick Maimone called from the small blind to put both players at risk and the cards were turned up.

Kornuth: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Yoon: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Maimone: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

"Good flip for you guys," Maimone said when the {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop delivered both his opponents draws. The {9-Clubs} turn was gin for Yoon, who made a straight, and both Kornuth and Maimone were drawing dead headed to the {5-Diamonds} river.

Yoon tripled on the hand while Kornuth fell in seventh place for $192,780.

After a long quiet stretch in the tournament we just saw an all-in confrontation that resulted in the elimination of Ben Heath.

Nick Maimone raised to 110,000 under the gun plus one and Heath shoved all in over the top for 570,000 from the cutoff.

The action folded back to Maimone, and he tanked for a bit before making the call.

Heath: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Maimone: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Maimone knocked out Heath in eighth place.

Anton Astapau Eliminated in 9th Place ($116,640)

Nível 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Anton Astapau
Anton Astapau

Anton Astapau, the shortest stack at the table, just moved all in under the gun plus one for 475,000 chips, and Dario Sammartino was next to act. After a while Sammartino called, and the action folded to Nick Maimone on the button.

Maimone did some thinking as well, before moving all in for 1,080,000. Both blinds folded right away, and Sammartino went into the tank.

"Sick," Sammartino said, as he shook his head.

"You don't have ace-king," Sammartino sighed, as he looked at Maimone.

Five minutes went by before Chance Kornuth called the clock, and in the dying seconds the Italian pro slammed in the call.

Maimone: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Anton Astapau: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Sammartino: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Maimone scored not only a knock out, but also a full double up through Sammartino. Maimone is now the chip leader as the tournament goes on its first break of the day.
