Tournament Review for 4-14-2006 through 4-16-2006
Something unusual happened this past Sunday–every major tournament that is tracked by PocketFives.com had an overlay. Obviously the turnouts were affected by the holiday, but a lot of P5ers still made it out to play, and there were some impressive results.
Most notably, four P5s members chopped the $1M guaranteed on PokerStars, which is a remarkable occurance, considering the size of that field every week. Even on Easter, there were 4,600 entrants, but adanthar, ackbleh, Ian J, and premiereach got at least $65k in a 4 way deal. Adanthar ended up taking it down, which gave him a total of about $111k!
Stars wasn't the only site to see a P5er taken down its major. Mordanwas the last man standing in the Bodog $100k guaranteed, and he took home $25k for that excellent finish. Quiet Lionwas also at that final table, finishing 6th overall.
PartyPoker action showed vegan213taking 3rd in the Friday Special. The next night, horryclutchwas up to his usual routine, taking 2nd in the $200k guaranteed, which paid him barely under $29k. gbmantishad a close call in the $500k guaranteed, finishing 9th for $7k.
In the $150k guaranteed on Paradise, paushterotook 7th place for a bit over $5k. In the PokerRoom Weekly Big Deal, phatcathad yet another 2nd place finish in a major, and MarvinGardentook 4th.
One of the biggest paydays for a P5er this past weekend was in the $200k guaranteed on Full Tilt, where P0KERPR033took 2nd place for just under $30k. He finished 3rd in the same tournament 5 weeks ago.
Several P5ers final tabled the $100k tourney on UltimateBet. Togasarawas the highest finisher, taking 2nd place. gator93(4th), pinksock(6th), kill-bill(7th), and sheets(8th) were the others. In the $125k later that night, insky-brostook 8th out of more than 500 entrants.
Congrats to P5ers on another standout weekend.
