Event 3 Winner - Hayes

 $350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Blinds 150k/130k/40k ante


Marvin Hayes (Brooklyn, NY)
$53,637

After shipping a double-up to Bob Hwang to close the chip gap, Marvin Hayes ends the tournament with a flush.

On a board of 3♣ 8s 10♣ Q♣ , Hayes check-raises all in and Hwang calls.

Hayes: 7♣ 5♣
Hwang: Q 9 (pair of Queens)

Hwang is drawing dead against Hayes' flush to take the title.

"This is the first tournament I ever bought in," says Hayes who plays home games in New York. "I definitely never thought I'd make it to the end, it's definitely a surprise."

Hayes is truck driver who plans on sharing his new found wealth with his wife and says a new car is "up there on the list," of things he'll do with the money.
