Christopher Franco Claims First-Ever PokerStars Chile Main Event Title

After 112 hands at the final table, and just 10 hands of heads-up play, Chile's own Christopher Franco took down the PokerStars Festival Chile Main Event for $97,360. Franco made his way past 328 players over four days of play at the beautiful Casino Enjoy Viña del Mar in Viña del Mar, Chile to win his first major title.

Franco has had success in live tournament play, with multiple cashes over the last four years, including a win last year in Las Vegas. His tournament win came from a Venetian Deepstack Extravaganza Bounty Event that netted him $11,517.
