Tournament Review for 7-29-2005 through 7-31-2005
Another weekend has passed, and another few million dollars have exchanged hands. As always on the last Sunday of the month, PokerStars Sunday tournament was a $500 buy in, and with their new $700k guarantee, they had a prize pool of well over $800k, which designated nearly $190k to first place. PartyPoker also had their $1M guaranteed this past Saturday.
In the PokerStars event, AngryCLECcame very close to the final table, still bringing in well over $6k for 14th place. The final four of this tournament ended up arranging a chop that left each of them with at least $100k!!! Later that evening, a couple more pocketfivers made scores on the same site in the $100 rebuy, most noteably DoubleLucky, who finished off an extremely tough heads up opponent, jerrod, to win first prize and more than $20k.
After nearly taking home the title in the PartyPoker $350k guaranteed last Sunday, jacksupmade yet another major final table on the same site, taking 8th place in the $1M guaranteed, which paid more than $25k. yahtzee0(iMsoLucky0) finished 10th in the $200k guaranteed later that night.
A top repeat performer this week was BudMansCom, who finished 8th in the $100k guaranteed on Paradise for the second consecutive week! Congrats to him on another nice cash.
The Bodog $100k guaranteed final table was packed with pocketfives talent, including RandyLerch, who took first prize and $25,000 in his first ever tournament on the site! He didn't have the easiest competition either, with PFabeand divingduckfinishing 6th and 7th respectively.
Congrats are also due to one more pocketfiver, pepochino, who got 2nd and more than $19k in the $100k guaranteed on UltimateBet.
