The winner <strong>bagged $1 million<\/strong> and a ticket to the season-ending Tournament of Champions.<\/p>\n<p>Patur entered the final table with the largest chip stack (6.3M), followed by Matas Cimbolas (4.3M) and James Carroll (4.1M). In total, <strong>188 hands were played at the final table<\/strong>, and the heads-up between Patur and Cimbolas lasted 29 hands.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most interesting moments of the final table occurred on the 93rd hand, when Ka Kwan Lau, holding AJ, lost to Matas Cimbolas with Queen-seven and was eliminated from the tournament. After this hand, the Lithuanian was almost catching up with the chip leader Patur, but he couldn't prove his advantage in the heads-up and had to &#8220;settle&#8221; for <strong>an impressive second place and a $600K cash prize.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.twitch.tv\/?video=1026319348&parent=pokeriomokykla.com\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"width: 0px;overflow: hidden;line-height: 0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you missed watching this tournament live, you can view the entire final table action with Lithuanian commentary in the video above.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Best online poker rooms:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class='widget-card placeholder--card'\n     data-source-gql='https:\/\/scg-new-live.stellate.sh\/'\n     data-source-widgetjs='https:\/\/widget.affprojects.com\/widget.js'\n     data-shortcode='widget-card'\n     data-shortcode-text='[top-poker-rooms-for-post]'\n     data-props='{\n\"show_more_button\":true,\n\"show_more_button_text\":\"Show More Bookmakers\",\n\"show_more_text\":false,\n\"show_less_text\":false,\n\"vpn_notification\":false,\n\"show_more_items_amount\":null,\n\"scrollable\":\"always\",\n\"violet_bonus_text\":true,\n\"ab_testing_show_more_button_rework\":true\n}'\n     data-queries='{\n\"type\":\"TOP-Poker\",\n\"limit\":10,\n\"mobile_limit\":10,\n\"show_new\":1,\n\"button_text_type\":\"TOP\",\n\"language\":\"en\",\n\"project\":\"PM\",\n\"page\":1\n}'\n     ><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2020, the WPT LAPC was won by Balakrishna Patur,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7774,"featured_media":766389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1655,1657,817],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-779512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-poker-news","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7774"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=779512"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1099237,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779512\/revisions\/1099237"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=779512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=779512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=779512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
