Steve Trizis has topped the field in Event 20 tonight to take home the largest portion of the prize pool worth $16,930 along with the SPS guitar pick trophy.

We had a chat with him after the win, and here is what Trizis had to say about the win, “This is awesome, awesome, of course, of course; I got a guitar trophy before, but I like this kind too. I will probably put it at my restaurant, the Country Skillet Restaurant.”

“Fairly smooth, I never was really at risk much. I wasn’t really big until the final table, I was average,” said Trizis when he was asked about his path through the tournament.

He continued with when asked about the endgame for him at the final table, “At the end I just got a lot of really good hands. I got aces one time to take a guy out four-handed.”

“I enjoy everything about it. I’m going to play the mixed games event tomorrow, I’m not going to play it well, I’m going to play it [laughs]. That’s probably what my celebration will be, and now I’ve got a couple bullets for it,” said Trizis to end the interview when asked about his tournament series experience and celebration plans.
