Jeff Gross Misses Misses Out On KO Super Sunday Glory

The KO Super Sunday series saw 20 PKO events take place on February 23rd. Combined guarantees of $1,600,000 were advertised, but your incredible support saw the total prize money awarded break through the $2 million barrier.

One of our own, Jeff Gross, came close to sampling the sweet taste of victory in one of the $320 buy-in events, but had to settle for a final table appearance instead.

Here’s a quick recap of the three biggest events, Some of the prizes are huge!

KO Super Sunday #3-H: $300K Gtd 8-Max

The KO Super Sunday #3-H: $300K Gtd 8-Max smashed through its guarantee thanks to 1,060 players paying $320 to become a champion on Sunday.

Everyone who reached the final table locked up at least $2,278 plus any bounty payments. All eyes were on Team Online’s Jeff Gross who was on course for glory. Gross saw his prize money increase when “topgunrs388” and “Fayran25” busted out in eighth and seventh place respectively.

Six-handed play spanned a short period before Gross’ fateful hand. The action folded to Gross in the small blind and he jammed for a shade under 16 big blind. “poker3019” called in the big blind and the cards were revealed.
