| Battles At The Beach Main Event Champion Uri Kadosh |
When the 2017 Battles At The Beach $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event reached it's final table, it really was a "who's who" of tournament poker. With the exceptions of David Bradshaw and Josias Santos (who both have over $200,000 in live tournament earnings), every player at the final table had over $500,000 in earnings. There were three players coming off of major title wins (Michael Graffeo, Josias Santos, Darryl Fish), and others who had older major titles in their pocket. The actual poker play at the final table was world class, with a recap of Day 3 (and the final table) to follow later today. After close to six hours of play at the final table, only three players remained (Darryl Fish, Joseph Couden, and Uri Kadosh). During the break between Level 30 and 31, the players began discussing a deal, and when they returned to the table, an agreement was made. Uri Kadosh (Davie, FL) was declared the winner, and earned the largest payday of his very decorated career ($120,035). It was Kadosh's sixth win of his career, and second "major" title. As part of the three way deal, Joseph Couden earned $120,000, and Darryl Fish $98,000.
