Week after week there’s the 300K Guaranteed<\/strong> to be found in the tournament lobby. Peanuts compared to what’s going on once every couple of months.<\/p>\n

Extra Tasty Free Cash<\/h3>\n

1,643 players started last Sunday. That meant there was a bit of an overlay in the tournament. All the more reason to participate next month, as you might get some extra value again.<\/p>\n

Meet The Final Ten<\/h3>\n

It took a total of ten hours of play to determine the winner. One and a half of those hours were reserved for the final table, that started with these chipcounts:<\/p>\n

Seat 1: Nofear2u – 3,678,224
\nSeat 2: SuperMikeyGG – 1,757,534
\nSeat 3: PeNiNaCaN – 2,815,700
\nSeat 4: H0d0R – 1,450,028
\nSeat 5: partysetz – 5,388,952
\nSeat 6: MyHumpMyHumpMyH – 2,066,571
\nSeat 7: kingkai84 – 4,846,043
\nSeat 8: Leqenden – 3,439,967
\nSeat 9: f3n0m3n0 – 4,643,870
\nSeat 10: Timeoutplease – 2,77,3336<\/p>\n

No huge chipleader, no desperate shortstacks. All requirements for an exciting final table where there. It was f3n0m3n0<\/strong>, who took an early step forward, eliminating SuperMikeyGG<\/strong> with a pair of Queens against .<\/p>\n

Who’s Most Tenacious?<\/h3>\n

It took a lot of endurance from there on. Players weren’t eager to play big pots, everyone was looking for that stealing spot.
\nkingkai84<\/strong> and f3n0m3n0<\/strong> managed to accumulate a lot of chips, before we saw several big hands in a row.<\/p>\n

MyHumpMyHumpMyH<\/strong> open shoved with from middle position. It was Nofear2u<\/strong> in the big blind, that called with . The board ran and sealed MyHumpMyHumpMyH<\/strong>‘s fate.
\nOnly two hands later H0d0R<\/strong> joined him at the rail, when his couldn’t overtake Timeoutplease<\/strong>‘s .<\/p>\n

Add partysetz<\/strong> to that list, as his was no match for f3n0m3n0<\/strong>‘s Pocket Queens.<\/p>\n

Take A Break From All The Action<\/h3>\n

After this heavy action, play slowed down significantly. Once more it was f3n0m3n0<\/strong>, who took care of the next elimination. Having a very aggressive image, he managed to take out Nofear2u<\/strong>, who got his chips in bad on a pure bluff with Jack high and no draw on the flop. f3n0m3n0<\/strong> himself was holding pocket tens.<\/p>\n

Only one hand later he did it again. This time he called shortstack Legenden<\/strong>‘s all in, who showed . f3n0m3n0<\/strong> held , hit an ace on the flop and went on to have a substantial lead over his opponents.<\/p>\n

Seat 3: PeNiNaCaN – 4,547,335
\nSeat 7: kingkai84 – 6,912,305
\nSeat 9: f3n0m3n0 – 17,922,920
\nSeat 10: Timeoutplease – 3,477,665<\/p>\n

Bully The Table<\/h3>\n

Using his huge stack to apply pressure, f3n0m3n0<\/strong> went on to accumulate more chips. It was kingkai84<\/strong>, who managed to gain some ground by using his Pocket Eights to eliminate PeNiNaCaN<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

Play went on for another 15 minutes (with Timeoutplease<\/strong> collecting some nice pots), before the three remaining players agreed to discuss a deal.<\/p>\n

Nice Payday<\/h3>\n
