Chad DeLanzo Winner

Event #4
No-Limit Hold'em Turbo
Buy-in: $300 (+$65)
Total Entries: 155
Prizepool: $45,600

Recently on a hot streak, Chad DeLanzo snags another top-five finish at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe, granting him gold this time around.

Stateline, Nevada (October 30, 2016) – Chad DeLanzo won himself a Circuit gold ring in the wee hours of Sunday morning by sweeping through a field of 155 players in Event #4: $365 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo. This was DeLanzo’s second final table of the series and he continues to rack up Casino Championship points with his impressive feats.

The event, featuring quick, 20-minute levels throughout, ran from start to finish in a matter of one day. Because of the frequent rise in blinds, luck is sometimes a larger influence when it comes to turbo-style tournaments. DeLanzo was certainly on the fortunate side of this determining factor during the final table action.

“I just ran extremely hot, won a ton of flips, and just picked up hands at the perfect time,” DeLanzo explained.

There was one crucial setback for DeLanzo though. At one point, his top two pair ran into bottom set, leaving him with a hindered stack. However, from then on, he caught fire and never looked back. DeLanzo’s victory awarded him 50 Casino Championship points on top of the 27.5 he already banked in Event #2.

Even though he does not play many tournaments, ten a year he estimates, DeLanzo has been running good so far in the 2016/17 Circuit tour and now finds himself 3rd in points on the WSOPC National Leaderboard. This elevated position is prompting DeLanzo to continue playing Circuit events in an effort to maintain his automatic bid to the Global Casino Championship. Next stop on the list is Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida, taking place in mid-November.

“I looked at the schedule. They have a PLO Eight tournament and that’s my favorite game,” said DeLanzo. “Might as well chase some points.”

Just like his Event #2 rival, Julian Galvan, DeLanzo is openly partial to Pot-Limit Omaha. In fact, his debut final table at Harvey’s came in the solo PLO event on the schedule, which was more his style.

“To be honest with you, I don’t like playing No-Limit Hold’em tournaments because everyone is so serious,” said DeLanzo. “I like to have fun while I’m playing.”

Having a good time is rarely in question when you are winning and DeLanzo has lately been doing just that. He walks away with a nice payday of $12,555 and of course the coveted gold ring. DeLanzo has set himself up as the top contender for Casino Champion, but he will be departing for his home in San Diego on Monday night. If his 77.5 total holds up, he will no longer have to worry about points on account of clinching a Global Casino Championship seat by way of a venue title.

Here's a look at the final table results:

1st: Chad DeLanzo - $12,555
2nd: Paul Netto - $7,759
3rd: Shane Gonzales - $5,585
4th: Warren Asher - $4,093
5th: Bob Turk - $3,053
6th: Chris Fajardo Jr. - $2,317
7th: Bruce Riley - $1,788
8th: Douglas Hall - $1,403
9th: Bradley Miller - $1,119

From three tables remaining, to two, and now to one, Event #4: $365 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo is moving along with haste.

Out of the ten players left, there are two familiar faces. Chad DeLanzo and Bradley Miller have each made their second final table of the series, after both claiming a top ten spot in Event #2. DeLanzo took fourth place in the Pot-Limit Omaha tournament and Miller finished as the runner-up.
