Thomas Boivin<\/strong> is enjoying a purple patch of form, and great players tend to reap the rewards when they combine playing great with running good. Boivin is doing exactly that; the tournament grinder has won not one, not two, but three MILLIONS Online KO<\/strong><\/a> events! Imagine that, becoming a MILLIONS Online KO champion three times during the same series!<\/p>\n

Boivin is a seasoned professional poker grinder, one with more than $3.5 million in online poker winnings<\/strong> and an additional $4 million from the live poker grind<\/strong>. He has won dozens of tournaments over the years, and now gets to call himself a triple MILLIONS Online KO champion.<\/p>\n

His first victory came in Event 31, the $530 buy-in 8-Max<\/strong>. Boivin outlasted 83 opponents on his way to glory; his win came with $12,416, including bounty payments. The final table was a star-studded affair, with our Philippe D’Auteuil<\/strong> and our very own Matt Staples<\/strong><\/a> present and correct. Their deep runs ended in eighth and seventh place respectively.<\/p>\n

Manuel Carvalho<\/strong><\/a>, champion of the MILLIONS Online KO Weekender<\/strong> recently, finished in fifth place, with Luciano Hollanda<\/strong> and Giuseppe Orlando<\/strong> being the next to fall. Boivin then defeated Jonathan Proudfoot<\/strong><\/a> heads-up to secure the title and the lion’s share of the $50,000 prize pool.<\/p>\n

Boivin Binks Second MILLIONS Online KO Title<\/h2>\n

Boivin’s second MILLIONS Online KO win came in Event 34, a $215 buy-in 7-Max<\/strong> tournament that saw 220 entrants create a $44,000 prize pool. Almost $8,000 of that pot, $7,995 to be exact, is now in Boivin’s PartyPoker account.<\/p>\n

Again, Boivin didn’t have an easy ride on his way to the winner’s circle, especially in the latter stages when the likes of former MILLIONS Online champion Benjamin Chalot<\/strong><\/a> was still in contention. Chalot ultimately busted in 11th place.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Boivin found himself heads-up with British star Charlie Combes<\/strong>, a player that Boivin likely knows well from the online poker grind. Boivin got the job done and his hands on $7,995, leaving Combes to collect the $3,077 consolation prize.<\/p>\n

He Shoots! He Scores! Hat Trick Complete<\/h2>\n

Boivin completed a remarkable hat trick of titles by taking down Event #38, the $215 6-Max Hyper<\/strong> tournament. Eighty-seven players competed for a share of the $20,000 prize pool, and it was Boivin who was the last player standing. His reward for victory number three? $4,768.<\/p>\n

His incredible run does not end there because he is currently 15th in chips in the $1,050 Main Event<\/strong> with 9,060,510 chips and $750 locked up in bounty payments! Imagine if he takes down the $1 million guaranteed Main Event<\/strong> and captures his fourth MILLIONS Online KO title!<\/p>\n
