Our SuperBowl tournament is done and dusted, with a champion crowned. The event featured four hours of play, 289 entrants, 100 entrants and $521 added to the prize pool, which came in at just over $4400. The table even boasted a custom Giants/Patriots football theme!
The chip lead fluctuated rapidly over the course of the tournament, with notable Aussie Millions entrant lennie10 sitting near the top of the ladder for some time. He hit a few snags, but eventually picked up 8th place for a cash of $132.33.
The heads-up play began with sliekas and festoon sitting pretty, but the battle only lasted for eight hands.
When the final cards were dealt, sliekas picked up 8s 2h, a huge underdog to festoon’s Qh 9h. However, sliekas limped in and the board came down 2d 8c 6h, giving him two pair. festoon bet out and was called, and then pushed all in on an open-ended straight draw when the turn was 7c. sliekas called, and the river blanked with the 4c, giving him the victory and a first-place prize of $1190.98!
Stick around for more action during February for our Heart Attack and Bad Beat freerolls!
