Tournament Review for 1-27-2008

By P5s Staff | Published Jan 28 2008, 03:28 PM

A recent guest on the PocketFives.com Podcast, 19-year-old Brian "SN8WMAN" Hawkins has only recently started receiving props for being one of the top online tournament players.  He recently broke into the Rankings at number 98, and he will be moving up quite a bit after his most recent win.  That win came in the biggest weekly poker tournament in the world, the PokerStars Sunday Million.  The prize pool was closer to $1.6M, and the top prize was over $278k!

Two other P5ers were at the final table of the Million as well.  Those two P5ers were jono5656 and mordan, who finished 7th and 8th respectively.

Just last week, we wrote about P5s moderator Anbessa finishing 2nd in the Sunday Warm Up.  This week he made another huge score, taking down the $200k Guaranteed on UltimateBet for over $48k.  That brings his total over the course of a week to over $100k in cashes--quite an accomplishment!  P5er texasblake took 3rd for $19.4k, and Sunday Major guru Brainwash finished 5th.  Somehow in between hands in the Sunday Million, SN8WMAN was able to keep an eye on the UB event too, and he took 9th place for $3,713.

Rdcrsn (left) gets his picture in the Tournament Review for the second straight week after having yet another huge Sunday, which included a chop of the $200 rebuy with last week's winner, P0KERPR033.  He also won the "Grand" $1k event on PokerRoom for an enormous $141k payday.  This is the second consecutive Sunday in which he's cashed for over $100k!  Others at the final table of that $200 rebuy included mr. menlo, who took 3rd, cmmjjt (5th), and goodvibe (8th), the top-ranked player in Germany.

The Second Chance event on Stars also saw a member of this site take the top prize.  Rjmgrace won all of $58,675 for first place, edging out two other P5ers in the final three.  Jagz7 was the runner up, taking over $29k, and trackcitylad came in 3rd for over $20k.  Bigmoneystud was the one other P5er at the final table, and he took 6th for just under $10k.

Pete "TheBeat" Giordano (right) is back in a big way, as he took 3rd in the Sunday Warm Up this week for just under $44k.  Skanky980 was at the final table as well, earning $14.5k for 7th, and Great_ape, the seventh ranked player in Belgium, took 8th for over $9k.

A recent addition to the PocketFives.com community made a big score in the $300k Guaranteed event on PartyPoker.  Less than two weeks after joining the site, casinoice finished atop the leaderboard in one of the week's biggest events--congrats!  Casinoice was already the top-ranked player in Iceland, and this win will add some padding to an already sizeable lead.

In this week's Full Tilt $750k Guaranteed, P5er JSchnett took 3rd place for over $62k, finishing just above two fellow members of the community.  4th and 5th places were occupied by downosaur and Moorman1, who earned $48k and $36k respectively.  P5s Contributing Writer Bryan "Squirrely1" Sapp finished 7th for over $20k.

JohnnyGStaks (left) had a solid win this weekend as well.  He managed to finish at the very top of the field in the Bodog $100k Guaranteed, earning $25k.  Other P5ers at the final table were flmodesq21 and basebaldy, both of whom finished in the top four.

In the Full Tilt Sunday Mulligan, P5er mdv85 nearly took the top prize, earning $26k for 2nd place.  Moorman1 made the final table as well after already making the final table of the $750k Guaranteed.  With his second cash tacked on, he cashed for over $51k on the day.

And in Full Tilt's Sunday Brawl, we got to see yet another P5er win a major.  Gutshtallin (ryanwelch on Full Tilt) took it down for over $68k, defeating fellow P5er comandr_cool in the heads up match.  Just two spots further down the list was FULLMIKETILT, who won $25k for fourth, and SirWatts was next, cashing for $19k.
