Stevan Chew wins BSOP Online Main Event

In the concluding weekend of the BSOP Online, Brazilians held strong to claim the top three spots in the $22 Mini Main Event. “GugstavoHG” came first for $21,229.

This wasn’t the story in the $215 Main Event, where “pxel11” was the only Brazilian player on the final table, and was eliminated in seventh place. The second day of the Main Event was nothing short of a marathon. After well over 12 hours of play, the remaining three players decided to manually pause the tournament, creating an informal Day 3.

At that point, Stevan “random_chu” Chew from Canada had a more than a 4-1 chip lead over both second place “kaziiiii” from Russia and third place “diffsam” from Bulgaria. There were few surprises when the tourney resumed, with the standings remaining as they were and Stevan Chew taking the top prize of $91,890.

All in all, the BSOP Online drew a very much international crowd. Among this weekend’s winners were “clapjkspit” from Hungary, “Behind81” from Germany and “KariDD” from Canada.

Here are the top BSOP Online winners from the weekend.
