$43,500 Makes Its Way to eggyTOSSER

British grinder "eggyTOSSER" got their hands on the largest prize of the WPTDeepStacks festival so far, one worth an impressive $43,500. Exactly 250 players bought into Event #17 - $200,000 Crazy 8, but it was eggyTOSSER who outlasted them all in this $888 buy-in tournament.

Big names littered the final table. Finnish pro Tomi "wellyxx" Brouk was one of the first finalists heading to the exits, he crashed out in seventh place for $7,000.

Legendary Swede Niklas "tutten7" Astedt almost reached heads-up but fell at the final hurdle and had to console himself with the $24,000 third-place prize. Astedt's exit left eggyTOSSER heads-up against Pedro "GritinhO_Dzi" Garagnani in a battle for the lion's share of the spoils. The one-on-one clash went the way of eggyTOSSER, and they collected $43,500, leaving Garagnani to bank $31,000.
