Online Poker

As usual, Sunday at Poker.com has lived up to its name and proved to be quite a handy payday for some of our big tournament players.

$20,000 Weekly Freeroll - Entrants: 912
Congratulations to today’s $20,000 Weekly Freeroll winner, Amibluffin, who not only boosted his bankroll by $4,000, but also has the $20k accolade to prove it. Trouble is with his $4k freeroll wins and now this, Poker.com will have to re-size his player box to fit in all the trophies!

Here is how the final 4 stacked up before the action heated up:

DrBrain $490k
Amibluffin $190k
AceRick $122k
Youngyertiskier $85k

Although DrBrain had a healthy chip stack going into the final four, he was unable to hold on for long, as the next hand saw the lead change. Thanks to a handful of lovely ladies, QQQ, Amibluffin managed to double up and set himself for a good run home.

Tournament Highlights;

Showdown for 4^th Place: (both players All-in pre-flop)
DrBrain - Ah Kh Vs AceRick - Jc 9c
Board: Ac 8d Js Turn: 4h River: Tc

Showdown for 3^rd: (both players All-in pre-flop)
Amibluffin - 9d 9c Vs DrBrain - Ad 3s
Board: 2c Qs 2h Turn: 8s River: 3d

Final Showdown:
Amibluffin: Ah 3d Vs Youngyertiskier - 9h Qs
Board: 6h 8c 4h Turn: Kc River: 2d

So, with the Ace High Amibluffin secured the victory and yet another trophy for his player box. (It's going straight to the pool room as an Aussie would say - watch this movie if you want to get the joke)

Also, it was great to see player Youngyertiskier manage to sneak into 2^nd place after being short stacked for most of the final table. Hopefully I can take something away from this… Since I’m usually the short stack after level 1.

$10,000 Guaranteed
Every week I say it, and every week the opportunity goes begging. In case you did not know, every Sunday Poker.com holds a $10,000 Guaranteed Tournament and if there was just one tourney I could play (if I was allowed), this would be IT!

My Reasons to Play:

• Only 98 entries. That’s less than half what the field is guaranteed for, so it's a 100% +ev investment on your money.
• Unbelievable return on your $50+$5 buy-in
• You can earn entry via our $5 satellites

Judging by the entrants I can see that a few Poker.com regulars have found the value here and are coming back week after week…And with good reason.

Congratulations to Flind1 on a terrific win and from all the staff at Poker.com we wish you continued success with your newly acquired bankroll… $3,000 to be exact.
