PartyPoker WPT Montreal Main Event Champion: Derrick Rosenbarger

The PartyPoker WPT Montreal Main Event has come to a close after 5 days of action packed poker, and of the 862 entries that we saw come and go, it was Derrick Rosenbarger that was the last one standing! After coming in to the final table as one of the shorter stacks, Derrick managed to build some momentum progressively throughout the night, and went on to defeat poker pro Mukul Pahuja in a heated heads-up battle to emerge as the champion. His victory earned him a $517,049 prize, as well as a $15,400 seat to the WPT World Championship, a beautiful WPT Montreal Belt, and an eternal spot engraved amongst the past WPT Champions on the WPT Trophy!

On the last hand, Derrick put in a minimum raise from the small blind, and quickly called when Mukul moved in over the top. He showed a pair of Queen of Diamonds Queen of Spades, and was far ahead of Mukul’s Ace of Diamonds 4 of Diamonds. The board was no threat to the pair of queens, showing 9 of Hearts 3 of Clubs 6 of Diamonds 4 of Spades 2 of Hearts, and Derrick gave a fist pump when he realised what had just happened.

Congratulations on your victory Derrick!
