Curtis Singleton Wins Monster Stack for $68,505

Curtis SIngleton picked up his first Circuit ring in his very first live win. He previously had a few final table finishes around Alberta events, but his best score prior to tonight was 3rd place in a PPT game in Nov of 2023 and his total lifetime cashes before today were less than $20k USD.

Now, with this win in the Monster, he’ll more than double his lifetime earnings and record his first win with the ring. He had to overcome a chip deficit heads up, and he was short-stacking for much of the final table.

A close look at the winners photo will reveal his rubber duck card capper, and the ducks were working for him tonight. He won several pots with a deuce in his hand including a four-card club flush with the deuce of clubs. The biggest one came when both players had a duck in the hand and two more came on the board. All the money went in with Singleton at risk, but he was boated up against the bare trips for runner-up Kalyan Cheekuri.

That gave Singleton a big lead and the game ended shortly after when the money went in preflop with Singleton on king-ten against queen-ten for Cheekuri. The king-ten held despite Cheekuri turning open-ended and the ring went to Singleton.
