Artyem Perlov Wins Mohegan Sun National Championship

Artyem Perlov has won the DeepStacks Poker Tour Mohegan Sun National Championship, after defeating a field of 251 players over four days to lift the title, and collect the $108,864 first place prize (after a deal was struck).
The $2,500 buy-in tournament in Fort Lee, NJ  attracted a whole slew of amateurs and pros alike to create a prize pool worth $559,981. Amongst the notable names competing was Vanessa Selbst, Michael Mizrachi, Mike Matusow, Allen Kessler, Tristan Wade, Chip Jett and Vinny Pahuja.
By the time the final table of six had been reached Andrew Sherman-Ash was the short-stack at the table but managed to double up holding Ah-Kh to David Stefanski’s pocket jacks. Soon after, Sherman-Ash (A-7) scored a double elimination in a preflop  contest against Nicholas Palma (A-5) and Patrick Chan (A-Q). The board subsequently rolled out 7-5-4-8-9 to eliminate Nicholas Palma in 6th ($25,759) and Patrick Chan in 5th ($33,599), after which the remaining players struck a four-way deal with an extra $38,864 going to the eventual winner.
Next, Adam Bitker (A-7) dispatched a short-stacked David Stefanski (Q-10) to the rail in 4th ($70,000), but was then eliminated himself in 3rd ($70,000) after his pocket jacks ran into the pocket queens of Sherman-Ash.
As the heads-up phase of the competition got underway, the stacks were fairly even but 53 hands later it was all over with Sherman-Ash (Ah-10s) and Artyem Perlov (Ad-8h) all-in preflop. Fortune then favoured Perlov as the board fell 10d-4d-2d-3c-6d to relegate Sherman-Ash to a runner-up finish worth $100,000, while Artyem Perlov was crowned the champion.
The final table payouts were as follows:
1 Artyem Perlov    $108,864
2 Andrew Sherman-Ash $100,000
3 Adam Bitker    $70,000
4 David Stefanski $70,000
5 Patrick Chan    $33,599
6 Nicholas Palma $25,759
