Diovani Martinez Wins DSPT Panama

The DeepStacks Poker Tour wrapped up its most recent stop in Panama City, Panama this week with its Veneto Poker Carnivale tournament. The Main Event drew in 116 players for the $200K guaranteed NLHE tournament. The top 17 players were paid a minimum of $2,500.

Day 2 of the tournament thinned the field from 45 original players, ultimately working its way through the money bubble as Matt Schreiber was eliminated in 18^th place with no money. Payouts began, and when the final table was set for November 11, Edgar Huerta led the pack with Giulio Oliviero close behind. But it was Diovani Martinez who soared and eventually captured the title, along with a trophy and seat in the upcoming ESPT World Championship at Mohegan Sun.
