One of them was Connor Drinan, a big winner who hasn't claimed a title since 2014. When it ended tonight, Drinan had claimed the trophy for himself. Drinan, a man who prior to tonight had more the $9 million in live winnings, hadn't won a live tournament in two years. His last victory was here in a side event in 2014. Connor Drinan won a $100,000 bracelet prop bet against Daniel Negreanu by winning the final event of the 2020 World Series of Poker Online. While all eyes were on the Main Event finales last night one player who was quietly earning the respect of his peers was American pro Connor Drinan. He took down the $10,300 PLO Main Event for $322,264 and in doing so broke the record for most SCOOP titles in a single year.

Give it to Connor Drinan, a man who likes to win in Barcelona.

By almost any measure, this was a huge EPT Barcelona festival. Using the yardstick of the €10,000 High Roller, it was a monstrous record-breaker. By the time the buy-ins stopped, there were 591 entries for what was essentially a last chance big-money side event. It drew most of the big names and a bunch of people who decided to take a shot at a first prize worth more than €800,000. One of them was Connor Drinan, a big winner who hasn't claimed a title since 2014.

When it ended tonight, Drinan had claimed the trophy for himself.

Drinan, a man who prior to tonight had more the $9 million in live winnings, hadn't won a live tournament in two years. His last victory was here in a side event in 2014. Nevertheless, since that time he has won millions in big money tournaments, and tonight he banked another €849,200. He did so while well-lubricated at the end.

'I drank a lot of beer, and that helped,' Drinan said. 'I ran good and won my all-ins.'

When the final day of this event began, it was Ilkin Amirov's to lose. He came as the leader of the final 36 players and held that lead as we saw luminaries like Mike McDonald, Natasha Barbour, Joseph Serock, and Davidi Kitai eliminated. Then, as play entered the last stages before the final table, Amirov tangled with Ari Engel and slipped from his position of advantage. He was short-stacked by the time he hit the final table, and he didn't recover. Even after he picked up K♣K♦, he couldn't manage to hold against the big-stacked Kyle Keranen's A♥Q♣. Amirov was forced to be satisfied with a ninth place finish and €95,720.

After a protracted contest of eight-handed play, Pascal Hartmann was down to 1.3 million. He had to make a move, and he decided to do it with 8♣7♣. His timing was off. Patrick Leonard woke up with K♦K♣ in the big blind, Hartmann never caught up. Though his smiling picture would belie the reality, Hartmann busted short of the big money and left with €124,400.

There isn't a lot of sympathy to go around in poker. It's a commodity like saffron. If you want it, you have to pay a serious premium. Patrick Leonard paid more than most. On two nearly back-to-back hands, Leonard got simply destroyed by bad luck. The first saw him flopping top set and losing to a runner-runner straight. Minutes later, he picked up pocket queens and ran right into pocket kings. After having the chip lead as part of his short-term memory, he was gone in seventh place for €169,700. That one is going to sting for a while.

Barely any time at all passed before Joseph Cheong got it in from the small blind. The one-time November Niner held J♣2♣ which Connor Drinan looked up with A♣4♥. Cheong didn't improve, but still managed to bank a respectable €233,300 for sixth place.

The battle of attrition continued until the very end of the level when longtime grinder Ari Engel fell victim to a battle of the blinds. Connor Drinan pushed all-in from the small blind and Engel snap-called with A♠T♣. The problem was the run-out. Drinan flopped a nine to match his J♠9♣, and that was good enough for the win by the river. Engel's fifth place cash earned him €307,900.

When it came time for Oleksii Khoroshenin to go, it took a while. Seriously, his final decision took nine minutes.

He limped the button, Connor Drinan completed, and Mihail Morozovs checked in the big. When the flop came down K♦A♥8♣, Drinan had already checked dark. Morozovs cheked in turn, and Khoroshenin came in for 300,000. That's when Drinin raised to a million. Morozovs bailed, but Khoroshenin made the call. On the 2♣ turn, Drinan came out for 1.1 million and Khoroshenin called again. Why? He had A♦T♥. With five million in the pot, the river fell as the 3♦, Drinan pushed. He covered Khoroshenin. After staring back and forth between the payout board and Drinan for nearly ten minutes, Khoroshenin called to see Drinan's A♦K♠. Fourth place earned him €396,700.

Kyle Keranen had been the chip leader a couple of times throughout the day, but the latter stages of play ate away at his stack. Down to 2.8 million, after Morozovs raised from the button, Keranen pushed all in from the big blind with A♥2♥. It was the wrong time. Morozovs had J♣J♦, and Keranen didn't catch up.

It wasn't what he was looking for, but he won €496,440 for his third place finish.

When play got heads up, here's how the chip counts looked:

Connor Drinan - 15.375M
Mihails Morozovs - 14.225M

After about an hour of heads-up play, Drinan sealed the deal. Morozovs limped and Drinan checked his option. The flop came T♥6♣4♠ and Drinan checked, letting Morozovs in for a 700,000 bet. Drinan then raised it 1.7 million, only for Morozovs to then four-bet jam all-in for only slightly less than what Drinan had. Drinan took one look at his cards and called.

Morozovs - T♦J♥
Drinan - 6♠4♥

Drinan had hit a big blind special at the most crucial time. His two pair was ahead of the one pair, and stayed that way on the K♠ turn and Q♣ river. It meant one thing: Drinan had just won his first title in two years. It came with a trophy and €849,200.

Goodnight and goodbye from Barcelona.

Before the 2020 World Series of Poker Online began, Poker Hall of Famer Daniel Negreanu offered up a couple bracelet prop bets, as he often does. One for which he got a couple takers was an even money heads-up bet on who would win a bracelet. Ali Imsirovic and Connor Drinan took him up on it, betting that they would win a bracelet during the 2020 WSOP (online or live, if that happens) and Negreanu would not. It looked like no money would exchange hands a couple days ago, as none of them had won a bracelet this summer and the WSOP was winding down, but on Tuesday, Drinan came through in the very last event of the 2020 WSOP Online to win his $100,000 side bet against Negreanu.

Negreanu is always very confident in his ability to win a WSOP bracelet, as he should be. He has won six of them in his already storied career, but he has been in a drought since 2013.

As mentioned, Negreanu proposed two different bets. The first was on himself, and himself alone, winning a bracelet this year. He offered to be up to a total of $1 million (all bets combined) at 2.5-to-1 odds. Thus, he was willing to risk $1 million for the possibility of winning $2.5 million.

The one Drinan got in on was a head-to-head bet. If one of them won a bracelet and the other didn’t, the bracelet winner naturally wins the bet. If neither won or both won, then it was a push. Drinan wagered the max Negreanu allowed by a single person, $100,000, at even money.

Only one of the 85 events of this year’s WSOP had yet to be decided going into Tuesday night. Wrapping up the Series was the $5 million guaranteed $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em “Super MILLION$” event. Drinan almost didn’t make the money; he had an extremely short stack on the bubble, but managed to chip up just in time and enter the final table in sixth place. Negreanu wished his rival well, but not THAT well:

With 9.8 million chips, Drinan was right in the mix with most of his eight opponents, but was still way behind the chip leader, Suraj Mishra, who had 18.7 million.

One of Drinan’s biggest hands of the final table was against Mishra. He had already knocked one player out, but found himself way behind when he called Mishra’s 14.85 million chip all-in, T-T versus 9-9. Drinan hit a set on the flop, however, eliminating Mishra and jumping into the lead.

From there, he cruised, entering heads-up play against Daniyar Aubakirov with a 4-to-1 chip lead. While Aubakirov was able to make a few moves, the gap was just way to wide to traverse. Drinan did get lucky on the final hand, though, picking off Aubakirov’s A-J with A-9 when he spiked a 9 on the river.

Drinan earned $1.4 million for his first-ever bracelet win, plus an extra $100,000 from Negreanu.
