Erik Anderson Defeats Yousri Ali to Win Monster Stack ($39,004)
Yousri Ali managed to double his short stack up a couple times, but he could not fully recover from the deficit he faced entering the heads-up match. Erik Anderson (pictured above) has just collected the last of his opponent's chips, winning the Monster Stack event, his first ring, and the top prize of $39,004. Anderson is a telecommunications supervisor from Chicago and an avid golfer, and this is his first tournament cash on record. More about his breakthrough victory will be published shortly.
Ali (below) collects $24,121 for his runner-up finish, which is the second such result of his Circuit career.
