Mixson Wins The Big Kickoff for $13,000

After a heads-up battle with Alex Goya, Cameron Mixson secured the victory in Event 2: The Big Kickoff

Mixson began the final table with the chip lead and held the lead for the majority of the final table. Alex Goya had briefly held the chip lead after a collision with Richard Philip when players were still nine-handed.

The tournament ended on blinds of 40,000/80,000-80,000. Goya opened to 180,000 and Mixson three-bet to 480,000. Goya called.

The flop came KdKh2h. Goya checked. Mixson bet 230,000 and Goya raised to 1,000,000. Mixson jammed and Goya called.

Both players tabled a flush draw with Mixson holding the nut flush draw. Goya was drawing to a jack or a nine, but Mixson held on the 8d turn and 2s river.

Board: KdKh2h8d2s
Mixson: Ah5h
Goya: Jh9h (all-in)

Mixson won $13,000 for first place and also won a $600 seat to the $250K GTD Headliner Event.
