"It feels quite amazing, especially because Lake Tahoe is probably my favorite place to travel for poker, which I can only do once a year. I live in Vegas and I go to Thunder Valley sometimes, but this is the number one spot I’d like to win at, so it makes it extra special," Sandberg told reporters after the win.
"I always enjoy a challenge. It just motivates me to really play my best," Sandberg added, highlighting his competitive spirit and dedication to poker.
With a field of 439 entries and a prize pool of $665,085, the $1,700 buy-in no-limit hold'em event showcased strong competition and high stakes, reflecting the growing interest in the game.
Finishing his impressive run, Sandberg faced off against James Czarnecki with the chips nearly even, ultimately making two pair with Q-6 to secure the title.
