Poker Articles

By P5s Staff | Published Oct 02 2006, 12:14 AM
It was the biggest Sunday of the year in online poker, the Sunday everyone waits for.  The WCOOP main event only happens once a year on PokerStars, and this year, it had a prize pool of over $6M, the largest in online poker history.  We'll be talking more about this tournament in a future article, as the event went too late to discuss the results here.  Meanwhile, the other major tournaments still went on as scheduled, and as usual, P5ers were all over the leaderboards.

Allen "AawwNutz" Carter (pictured) was one of the P5ers to have a big Sunday finish, taking second place in the $200k guaranteed on UltimateBet, which was worth $27k.  This is a tournament that has often had an overlay in recent weeks and continues to be a great opportunity for those who seek added value.

Another big P5er score was made by Dyzalot, who won the Friday Special on PartyPoker, which also completed his P5s Triple Crown!  He took nearly $40k for his win, knocking down a final table that featured ranked players Ginzorella (6th) and BeL0WaB0Ve (9th).

Marinersjj had a big second place as well, this one in the $250k Guaranteed on Full Tilt.  It paid out just over $35k.  BrooDogg took another big chunk of that prizepool, receiving more than $20k for fourth, and The_Dean221 took 5th for nearly $16k.

In the $150k Guaranteed on Paradise, Bushman finished in 4th place, Intervention was 5th, and JOEYTHEB was the 6th place finisher.  Intervention carried that success over to PokerStars, where he took 6th in the 2nd Chance WCOOP tournament, winning a hefty $23,794.
