Day 3 of Event #55: $1,500 DraftKings 50/50 No-Limit Hold'em – a tournament that attracted 1,123 entries and created a prize pool of $1,516,050 – saw 28 players return to battle down to a winner. It took a full day of play, but eventually 31-year-old Brandon Wittmeyer, a professional sports bettor from Las Vegas, emerged victorious to capture the $200,618 first-place prize and his first WSOP gold bracelet.

"Honestly, I did not really think about the sports betting and Draftkings connection," said Wittmeye4, who had finished third in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event less than a week ago. “This just happened to be the next tournament on the schedule after I finished third in the other event. So, it was nothing I planned out."

He continued: "I’ve played about eight tournament this year so far. It’s amazing to have this happen to me back-to-back making two final tables, and now this. I just thought it would be neat to cash again since they were paying half the field. I didn’t expect to come this far again, let alone win it."

Among those to fall on Day 3 were Dominik Nitsche (24th - $6,049), Joao Simao (18th - $7,354), Matt Affleck (6th - $31,079), and Mukul Pahuja (4th - $56,245). By the time heads-up play rolled around, Wittmeyer held a 3-to-1 chip lead over Derek Gomez, a poker dealer from the Wynn Casino.

In what would be the final hand of the tournament, which happened in Level 30 (40,000/80,000/10,000) on Hand #146 of the final table, Gomez limped the button and then shoved all in after Wittmeyerhad raised to 300,000. Wittmeyer made the call with the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, which was well out in front of Gomez's {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. However, the {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop gave Gomez the lead with a pair of tens. The {2-Hearts} was of no consequence, but the {Q-Clubs} river was as Wittmeyer paired up to capture the title!
