Personal Life

Daniel Colpoys survived an exhausting four-hour final table to claim the $2,100 PokerGO Cup 6-Max Championship and its massive prize pool of $167,321. Hailing from Massachusetts, Daniel beat out 77 entrants to secure both his title and bounty payment; Artur Martirosian ended with just shy of six figures as second place finisher.

At the final table, four men stood a chance at becoming overall champion. Cary Katz led in chips with over one million, followed by Colpoys and Sean Winter who each held roughly half as much.

Colpoys would quickly see most of his stack flow to Winter after she caught a king for K-Q against Colpoys’ A-Q, yet Haxton didn’t let that slip away and took most of Colpoys’ remaining chips in a classic race situation to knock him out in fourth place.
