Detox Poker Series: James Wheatley Wins Main Event & Overall Leaderboard

When play got down to heads-up, there were several discussions between Brian Watkins and James Wheatley about a deal, but before they could make one, it all ended very quickly. Wheatley limped from the button with [4c][6s] and Watson checked, bringing them to a flop of [6d][8s][8h]. Watson checked, Wheatley bet 150,000 and Watson called, with the turn coming down with the [8d]. Watson moved all-in and Wheatley though it over for a minute or so, eventually calling. Watson had just [Jh][9d], and the river brought no help, securing both the title and the player of the series award for Wheatley.

It was his second title this series, having won the 7-Game Event earlier. He picked up $38,111 after the deal, while Watson walked away with $32,994 for his second place finish.

That's all for us here at the Detox Poker Series. For Matt Savage, Rob, Jay, and the entire staff, thank you for following us here on the blog and we hope you'll stay tuned as there's another Savage Tournament right around the corner.

There will be one more update, as Marco from QuadJacks.com chatted with James Wheatley shortly after his victory.
