On the third and final day of the 2021 World Series of Poker Event #48: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em, a champion was crowned as Gershon Distenfeld defeated Johan Schumacher after a back-and-forth heads-up battle for $204,063 that lasted over three hours.

As he did with the winnings from his domestic Main Event final table last year, Distenfeld has pledged to donate his entire score to various charities and hopes he can inspire other members of the poker community to be more philanthropic when possible.

锟斤拷I锟斤拷d love to offer a challenge to every bracelet winner to give away 1% of their money to the charity of their choice. There锟斤拷s no lack of needs out there. If I could have a lasting impact in the poker community, it would be that.锟斤拷

On his bracelet win, Distenfeld said 锟斤拷I锟斤拷ve always dreamt of winning one, and it锟斤拷s one of those things you think is never going to happen. I just don锟斤拷t know what to say. I even teared up a little bit which is not very like me.锟斤拷

锟斤拷I want to thank my family for showing up and surprising me. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law Sam and Jen Goldstein. They came and rooted me on, it was great. I wanted a rail so last night I offered a bunch of my friends to fly them in today and no one could do it.锟斤拷

锟斤拷There锟斤拷s one person who always told me I was going to make a final table and would come no matter what, and he, unfortunately, passed away. His name is Yonky Berger. I锟斤拷d like to dedicate my win to him. He was one of my biggest supporters, and I have a lot of supporters... There锟斤拷s no doubt he would have flown out this morning had he been alive and healthy, so I want to dedicate my bracelet win to him.锟斤拷

Final Table Action

Ten players started the day with nearly even stacks and it wasn锟斤拷t long before the first player was eliminated in a cooler. Craig Trost got his stack in preflop holding kings against the aces of Distenfeld and the aces held to eliminate Trost only a few hands into the day. Over an hour later, AP Garza was next to go in ninth, and Thomas Boivin was gone in eighth when getting rivered against fellow Belgian, Johan Schumacher.

Ari Engel was then eliminated in seventh after running tens into the jacks of Distenfeld, Sohale Khalili hit the rail in sixth after losing a flip, and David Tran had his run ended in fifth place by Orson Young.

Young was the next player to bust after running kings into Schumacher锟斤拷s aces to lose a chunk of his stack and losing the rest to Schumacher soon after. Jonathan Betancur had a solid stack but lost two hands in a row to Schumacher, first with fives against kings and the second one as a flip, to hit the payout desk in third and set up a heads-up battle between Schumacher and Distenfeld.

Heads-Up Play

Johan Schumacher navigated his way to the heads-up stage

When heads-up play began, Schumacher held nearly twice as many chips as Distenfeld, but Distenfeld wasn锟斤拷t going to go down easily. The two found themselves at the first possible junction to end the tournament when Schumacher jammed deuces into Distenfeld锟斤拷s ace-ten. An ace came on the turn to keep Distenfeld alive and the two practically swapped stacks.

Distenfeld extended his lead and soon had Schumacher on the ropes. Schumacher was all-in and at-risk several times, and every time, he won the hand to stay alive. He eventually took back the chip lead after having been down to only a couple of big blinds and it was anyone锟斤拷s match.

Schumacher had gotten down a short stack again, and once again, he had several all-in and at-risk situations in which he was able to survive. The players agreed to take a short break after the match had lasted longer than they expected and came back with either of them having the opportunity to win the bracelet. Schumacher got down to crumbs again and once again doubled. Distenfeld and his rail likened Schumacher to a cat, seemingly having 锟斤拷nine lives锟斤拷, since at that point Schumacher may very well have doubled nine times in the heads-up match.

After that double, the two players got all the chips in again with Schumacher锟斤拷s queen-ten looking to be in good shape against Distenfeld锟斤拷s queen-four. The flop changed nothing, but the dealer put out a four on the turn to put Distenfeld ahead, and the river blank meant that the match was over and Distenfeld was officially the winner and claimed his maiden World Series of Poker bracelet.

锟斤拷Johan was incredible, such a good player锟斤拷, Distenfeld said of the heads-up match. 锟斤拷He just had an instinct. He called my hand a couple of times. I thought he was a better player than me to be perfectly honest. What a nice guy too, such a nice guy. Could锟斤拷ve gone either way certainly.锟斤拷

锟斤拷I was supposed to be on a noon flight home today, then I switched it to a red-eye but I锟斤拷m missing that as well. So I don锟斤拷t even have a hotel room for tonight, I don锟斤拷t have a flight back for tomorrow, but again my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are here so I think we锟斤拷re gonna go out and celebrate something.锟斤拷

Congratulations to Gershon Distenfeld for winning Event #48: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em!
