Tournament Review for 12-2-2007

By P5s Staff | Published Dec 03 2007, 03:13 PM |

It was another impressive weekend for the Pocketfives community across all the major sites. Four major tournaments were won by Pocketfivers, totaling almost $450,000 in prize money between them. The biggest winner was jlewis10748 who took down the Full Tilt $750k. The other champs were kenn121 (PartyPoker  300k), soggyvag (Pictured; UltimateBet 200k), TheMiltMan (Full Tilt Sunday Mulligan), and Thorladen (PokerStars $200 rebuy). Every other major final table had at least one Pocketfiver representing, including an astounding group in the UB 200k.

In the most stunning display of domination of a single tournament the Pocketfives Tourney Report has ever seen, the Pocketfives community final tabled the UltimateBet 200k in style. Pocketfivers are often found in the top spots of major tourneys, and they are often found there in numbers. Four, five, or even six players from Pocketfives making the final table is impressive, but not unheard of. Yesterday the final table of the UB 200k was entirely composed of Pocketfivers. Soggyvag was the headliner, winning $45k, but he was followed by play_2_win07, busto_soon, jdftkd, charder, DuckU, adanthar, Grinder_MJ, t soprano, and jlewis10748. These ten players took home $151,000 out of the 200k prizepool.

Almost as impressive was the performance by the P5s community in the Full Tilt Poker $750k. The top four players to emerge out of a filed of 4,000 in this tournament were all Pocketfivers. Jlewis10748, in his second major final table of the day took this one down for a whopping $142,190. He was joined by lleall, Dyzalot, and AABROKER, who finished 2nd-4th.

The Sunday Mulligan of Full Tilt saw another Pocketfiver come out on top.  TheMiltMan added another five figure score to his growing PLB total Sunday by winning the Mulligan and almost $40k! Also representing Pocketfives were xtrACEy (pictured-right) and believer82, who finished sixth and seventh for healthy four figure cashes.

Four Pocketfivers made the final table of the Bodog 100k. Leading the pack was herdgolf86, who cashed for $9,000 and third place. P5er odellthurman, playing as HerschelWalker took home $6500 for fourth, bdk_2five earned $4400 for sixth, and al0825 won $1550 for his ninth place finish.

Only one registered Pocketfiver made the final table of the PartyPoker 300k, but he made the most of the opportunity by taking down the whole thing. There was a chop involved, so the exact prize money is not clear, but kenn121 took home the lion’s share of the $316,000 prize pool.

Pokerstars is the place to find the hottest Sunday tournament action and, the Pocketfives community is always out to grab as much of the big prize money as possible. This week in the Sunday Million WestMenlo92 aka Guzzinator fought his way through a field of 6,881 entrants, only to finish second. I am sure there is something quite bittersweet about that for such a talented player, but he does have $97k to ease his pain.

The Sunday Warm-Up saw three Pocketfivers make the final table. Benno300 finished second for 47k, Jeff “mrrain” Banghart took third for 31k, and NutsErryTime took fourth for 20k. The Second Chance ended with the same result, with DrCaligula, adotlee and Believer82 taking 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively. This was the second final table of the day for Believer82, who raked in 20k between the two cashes.

In the $200 rebuy, Thorladen, the King of OT as well as sage mentor to many young poker players, emerged victorious from a talented final table. Thorladen won $55,650 for his first place finish. He had to beat out DuckU (3rd), gator93 (4th), The Omaholic (5th), the donator (7th) and USCphildo (8th) on his way to the big win.

Congrats to everyone who cashed this week.  Here are the results:
