Event 22 – ‘Deepest Stack’
Level 34: Blinds 150,000/300,000/40,000 ante
Total Entries: 544

Iverson “Heisenberg” Snuffer wins $34,157, the obscenely heavy Tiny Borgata trophy, and the Event #22 title.
We interviewed Heisenberg earlier in this event, and here’s a few more insights into this interesting individual.
“First, I’d like to thank my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, my beautiful wife, and my family,” says Heisenberg. He plans to give his trophy to his 37-year-old daughter, Erica, to add to the other trophies that Heisenberg has won in the poker case.
Now that this event has come to an end, Heisenberg plans to play poker in Cleveland, Ohio, the Chicago area, and the Cherokee WSOP circuit event in North Carolina. The WSOP proper is right out, though, because his outdoor leisure business takes over this summer and occupies 90 hours per week of his time. When that settles down, though, you’ll find him slinging cards once again.
This puts Heisenberg’s winnings very close to $400,000 lifetime, and he’s got a ton of poker left in him yet.
Congratulations to Heisenberg!

Bartholomew Golik open-shoves for just under 2.4 million and Iverson “Heisenberg” Snuffer calls.
Golik: {Kc}{Jc}
Heisenberg: {7s}{7h}
Golik flops a flush, but a scary one: {Qc}{7c}{6c}. Heisenberg need only pair the board to re-take the lead, and the turn is indeed the {6s}. The river is {Ah} and Bartholomew is out in fourth place, earning a bit under ten grand.

Bartholemew Golik goes all in and David “Bama” Walters calls.
Bartholomew: {Js}{Jd}
Bama: {Qd}{Qs}
The door card is the {Jh} eliciting a shout from Bartholomew’s entourage, and an even bigger shout once the {Jc} is also revealed for flopped QUADZILLA. The rest goes {10s}{3c}{Ac} and Bama is suddenly shortstacked in horrific fashion. He manages to hang on through the next two bustouts before eventually going out in fifth.

Just before the 10-minute break, there’s a wicked three-way all in situation, with Mike Bees having both the other players covered.
Mike Bees: {Ah}{10d}
Rich Johnson: {As}{9c}
Donald Shimazu: {Ad}{Kd}
As is typical for this table, the best hand going in does not get there. It instead runs {6c}{10c}{Qs}{5d}{6s} and Mike takes the whole pot, busting Rich in 6th and Donald in 5th, since Donald had more chips to start the hand and therefore had the tiebreaker.

Only a couple hands after the last bustout, Donald Shimazu goes out next in the short stack. He earns just short of four grand.

Paul Lambrakis open shoves and Iverson “Heisenberg” Snuffer re-raises all in. Mike Bees thinks about it for a long time, and eventually folds, saying he had A-Q.
Heisenberg: {Ac}{Ad}
Paul: {Ah}{4s}
The board goes {10d}{6s}{2s}{7d}{9c} and Paul is out in ninth place.

The flop is {Ac}{Kd}{2c} with two players.
Joe “Worm” Palma is all in for his million and change and Iverson “Heisenberg” Snuffer calls.
Worm: {As}{4s}
Heisenberg: {Ah}{2h}
Two pair versus a pair of aces. The turn is {10c} and the river is {Js} and Worm is out in 10th place. There’s a little under a thousand dollars more for the next one out.
