The weekend big buy-in tournaments were slightly slower than average this weekend, with so many high-profile players down in Tunica for the WPT, but there were still well over a million dollars paid out in the $200+ buy-ins on PartyPoker, PokerStars, UltimateBet, and Paradise.
Many of PocketFives.com's highly ranked players were in Tunica, but a few of them did show up to make noteable finishes. DoubleLucky finished 7th in the UB $500, bringing in just under $2k, while Wachovia, recently added to the top 50, finished 2nd and won $8,300. Highroller48 (ranked as madhattter) finished 12th, just out of the money.
HoldemPhil, a well known player on stars, finished 6th in the PokerStars tourney, winning over $17k. He was one of the biggest stacks until his set of 5’s ran into a set of J’s. So much for pocket fives, right? Another well-known who had a strong finish was Kill-Bill, who placed 2nd on Paradise, winning just under $17k.
