The 2020 World Poker Series (WSOP) Online has smashed its way through its midway point like a cider maker goes through his apples, and that means we have another bracelet winner.
Terrell “Heezahustia” Cheatham is now one of those people who will forever be known as “Yeah, but he won his online,” after outlasting 1,043 people who ended up having to deal with the vicissitudes of life, minus a gold bracelet.
Those 1,043 entrants, plus Cheatham, added 484 re-entries to the mix, bringing the total number of crusty bread roll eaters to 1,528, and Cheatham’s hands flew into the air less than eight hours after it had begun.
Cheatham’s record is not an illustrious one, but he felt the ‘rush’ before ending in 106th place in the 28,371-entrant BIG 50 last year. Cheatham overcame the more experienced Julian “Julian” Parmann, heads-up to win the title. Parmann finished 41st in the 2015 WSOP Main Event, and fourth in a $2,500 Limit Hold’em 6-Handed event won by Dutch Boyd in 2010. Andrea “Andrewbull88” Buonocore was the only other player with previous WSOP final table experience finishing fourth in a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em Double Stack event last year.
Here are the results in full.
