After last week’s win at Event #2 of the PokerStars Summer Series at Live! Casino and Hotel Philadelphia, Soukha Kachittavong said he was going to come back for Event #3: $2,200 No Limit Hold'em and complete the trifecta of final tables. Not only did he keep his word and battle through a 448-player field to make his third final table of the series, he went ahead and shipped the whole thing for $147,735 and the trophy.
Kachittavong kept his head down and stayed patient while looking for key spots throughout the final table to make moves and put his chips to work. He was able to grind to a heads-up battle with Greg Himmelbrand, who held the chip lead for a large portion of the final table.
Kachittavong was down to a 4:1 chip deficit at one point, but he worked a short stack into a medium stack and finally gained a small chip lead at about 4 a.m. local time. The players had been on the felt for over 17 hours, and Kachittavong suggested an even chop to Himmelbrand, who accepted.
