Sunday's Major Tournament Results

The Weekly $20,000 Freeroll
Just another Sunday and yet another Poker.com player has won themselves a handy addition to their bankroll after holding on to claim first place and $4,000.
Congratulations to StarConch, who fought back from a 3:1 chip deficit and claimed the win along with the prized $20K accolade for their player box. I honestly think sometimes the players are more interested in winning the accolade rather than the cash... I agree the trophy looks good, but give me $4k any day...
Final Table Action:
With only 7 of the original 867 players remaining, the $20k was still within anyone's reach, but this couldn't last for very long with the BB creeping to $16K.
The first hand to result in casualties played out like this:
Bullitpete - KK Vs Greenstn- A10 Vs Monkeylove05 - A7
The Flop: 2 9 7 Turn: A River: K
I could almost hear Bullitpete's heart stop when the turn hit, but thanks to the river giving him a set of Kings, he was now in second place.
With his new found chip stack Bullitpete didn't wait long, because with the very next hand was all-in again, this time against Mokeylove05.
Bullitpete - QJs Vs Mokeylove05 - A5os
The Flop: Qh 10h 10d Turn: 8d River: 4d
With the quick departure of 3 players, all at the hands of Bullitpete, the paced started to slow down and very few hands made it past the flop... That was until, Yappa27 called Bullitpete's all-in pre-flop, the result:
Bullitpete - 33 Vs Yappa27 - 55
The Flop: Q 6 8 The Turn: 4 and The River: 3
Again the river card was a blessing to Bullitpete, and with only 3 player remaining his chip lead of 3:1 was looking unbeatable, especially after one of the remaining three was knocked out by StarConch.
The Final 2 Players and Chip Count:
Bullitpete - 605K StarConch: 265K
This was really interesting to watch when the final table became Heads Up... I guess I wasn't the only one who thought this as over 100 members were watching the action.
The Final Hand:
Bullitpete - J5 Vs StarConch - JJ
Flop: 2 3 5 Turn: J River: 5
Both players landed the full house, but this time the river didn't save Bullitpete from StarConch's pocket JJ's
What I learnt about final tables today:
1. Pocket J's can win
2. How to lose from a 3:1 chip lead
3. And how to slap Bullitpete down in a tourney, thanks StarConch..
The $10,000 Guaranteed
Every week it makes me jealous that I cant enter this tournament... I mean think about the return on your $50 investment!
The prize pool is more than double what the buy-in generates and with only 94 entries it has to be the easiest way to win yourself a cool $3,000 in one sitting.
And just to top it off, you don't even have to buy-in for the full $50... Players can earn their entry by simply playing one of our daily $10K satellites.
The final hand in today's $10K was amazing...it went like this:
Raverke - Jd Vs Mal123 -
The Flop: 8d Qd As The Turn: 9d The River: 10d
With Raverke hitting a Queen High Straight Flush the nut hand was his, and with it first place.
Congratulations on a great win Raverke.
Showdown Poker Tour
Congratulations to 3 lucky players who managed to win their entry into the upcoming Showdown Final for a low $5. I wonder who is going to be winning that live poker tournament seat? It could still be you.

Charity Tournament
Gambitwd was this months winner and with the $75 from player donations and with Poker.com's matching this amount we have managed to raise $150.
I'd really love to see this tournament pulling some bigger numbers, for 2 reasons:
- so I can make a sizeable donation to the winner's choice of charity
- and to make Poker.com pay more...
Until next week good luck and I'll see you at the Final Table...
