Event #11: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo Deepstack 6-Handed
Day 1 Completed
On Saturday night, the 2020 World Series of Poker Online Event #11: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo Deepstack 6-Handed attracted 1,081 players who rebought 610 times. As a result, the 1,691-entry field generated a $760,950 prize pool, and after seven hours of play, it was Belarus�� Raman ��Acrogum�� Afanasenka walking away with a $128,601 first-place prize and his first gold bracelet.
Afanasenka��s victory came in impressive fashion as he topped a final table that contained three former bracelet winners, including two-time winner Chance ��BingShui�� Kornuth. Afanasenka and Kornuth squared off in heads-up play, and while both held the chip lead at different points, the former ultimately prevailed to deny Kornuth, who had previously won the 2018 WSOP Event #63: WSOP.com Online NLH High Roller, from becoming the first-ever two-time WSOP.com online bracelet winner.
According to HendonMob, Afanasenka has a modest $110,884 in live tournament earnings, of which just $15,749 has come in the WSOP. It marked his fourth cash of the current online series.

After Ryan "LoveMy11Cats" Belz bubbled the tournament in 249th place, the in-the-money bust outs came quickly. Among those to earn a cash were Yueqi ��anoob�� Zhu (173rd - $913.14), Mike ��mouth123�� Matusow (131st - $989.23), Robert ��bustinballs�� Kuhn (99th - $1,141.42), Ryan ��protential�� Laplante (69th - $1,597.99), Larry ��lormson�� Ormson (48th - $2,206.75), Jesse ��MrJesseJames�� Sylvia (40th - $2,587.23), Michel ��miguelfiesta�� Lech (16th - $4,793.98), and Kami ��Loco4coco�� Hudson (8th - $12,936.15).
Afanasenka began the stacked final table, which included three bracelet winners, as the chip leader, and he scored the first two eliminations in short order. Erica ��Huckcheevers�� Lindgren fell after here ace-jack failed to win a race against Afanasenka��s pocket sixes, and thenNeeraj ��nee0903�� Nayak fell when his seven-five failed to overcome Afanasenka��s ace-deuce.
Bracelet winner David ��Twizzlers�� Prociak was Afanasenka��s next victim after running ace-ten smack dab into pocket rockets, and another bracelet winner, Brett ��Metanemesis�� Apter, followed him out the door when Kornuth's pocket queens held against king-nine offsuit all in preflop.
Afanasenka began heads-up play with 42 million to Kornuth��s 24 million, but it didn��t take long for the seasoned pro to battle back and claim the lead. However, a failed bluff saw Afanasenka reclaim the lead and then close it out in a wild hand that started out as a flip. Afanasenka held pocket threes, Kornuth king-six, and both a king and six appeared on the flop. Kornuth was primed to double but a third trey spiked on the river to end the tournament then and there.
