There was plenty of action on Day 5 of the PokerStars Turbo Championship of Online Poker, with all four scheduled tournaments easily surpassing their guarantees, three of them by nearly double.

Grinders from Brazil, Malta, the Netherlands and Switzerland all claimed TCOOP titles, with PocketFiver Thiago ‘Thi_cortes’ Cortes taking home the biggest score of the day, nearly $65,000, for his win in the $215 No Limit Hold’em Six Max Hyper-Turbo 10-Stack event.

The action resumed yesterday with Event #20, an $82 buy-in Pot Limit 5-Card Omaha Turbo played six-handed. The tournament drew 372 entrants who made 695 rebuys and 230 add-ons, bumping the prize pool up to $97,275 and eclipsing its original $50,000 guarantee.

After just under 2.5 hours of play, the money bubble burst, with the 48 remaining players guaranteed a slice of the prize pool. Half an hour later the final table was set, and featured players from six different countries, including Japanese Team PokerStars Pro Naoya ‘nkeyno’ Kihara.

After third place finisher ‘GiBobH/L’ hit the rail, the two final players, ‘flexmasterNL’ of the Netherlands, and Brazil’s ‘CavaloOoOo’, worked out a deal which would leave $1,000 left up for grabs. A few hands later, ‘flexmasterNL’ emerged victorious and claimed his first TCOOP title along with $18,518 in winnings.

Event #21 was a $27 No Limit Hold’em Four Max Zoom tournament featuring Progressive Super-Knockouts. The smaller buy-in resulted in a large 6,873 field, with $84,537 going to the regular prize pool and $84,194 earmarked for bounties. The $168,732 pot easily beat the $100,000 planned guarantee.

In less than four hours, the tournament had already played down to the final table. A short time later, the remaining three players worked out a deal which would leave $6,805 for ‘nickus_poker’, $5,307 for ‘PaiKekai’, and $4,248 to ‘TeaDrinker77’, along with an extra $2,000 for first place.

Even though he started with the smallest final table stack, ‘TeaDrinker77’ claimed victory and walked away with $6,248 + $1,884 in bounties, for a total score of $8,132.

The third event of the day was a Fixed Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Eight Max Turbo, featuring levels just five minutes long. A total of 728 runners tried their hand at the tournament, generating a $54,600 prize that dwarfed the original $25,000 guarantee.

After 2.5 hours of play, the 96 remaining players were in the money, with the top spot promising $10,237. An hour later, the final table was set and included two-time COOP winner ‘Ulett_23’, past SCOOP champion Thomas ‘sandman201’ Tyler, and past SCOOP and WCOOP finalist ‘sleepy_seven’.

Ultimately, ‘Ulett_23’ would finish in fourth and ‘sandman201’ in third, leaving Switzerland’s ‘7HE__D__ASH’ to battle with Holland’s ‘juicy joy’ for the title. The two players quickly agreed on a deal and left $500 on the table for the winner. Just two hands later, action would come to a close after ‘7HE__D__ASH’ scooped a pot with a straight and a 6-5 low, giving him the victory and a $9,078 payout.

The last TCOOP event of the day was a $215 buy-in No Limit Hold’em 10-Stack Hyper-Turbo played six-handed. The tournament smashed its $200,000 guarantee with a total prize pool of $428,134, generated by its 2,031 entrants.

With levels just three minutes long, the event played down to the final table in just over two hours. As the action resumed, Brazil’s ‘Thi_cortes’ benefited from a nearly 8 million chip lead over his closest competitor. The chip advantage would be enough to defeat Moldovan player ‘DJeka[MD]’ heads up and win the $64,604 top prize.
