'Akademnuk,' 'Baby3344' and 'Platon33' Chop PokerStars Super Tuesday Jackpot
LONDON, March 14, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Elite online poker players were out in force for the PokerStars
(http://www.pokerstars.com/) Super Tuesday Major earlier this week. The
world's biggest online poker site had played host to a record breaking 5th
anniversary of the Sunday Million at the weekend where nine players walked
away with at least a $263.88 share. There was another $420,000 on offer this
time around for the leading 54 players.
Team PokerStars Pros Grayson 'spacegravy' Physio and Mer 'PeachyMer' Brit
were among the 420 strong field and the duo dominated the action during the
middle of the tournament to post top 50 finishes. Popular poker pros Benjamin
'delaney_kid' Delaney ($3,870) and Matt 'SamENole' Smith ($4,620) also
cashed. The final table was eventually set after 'ammaednama's ($5,460) Ace
high lost out to 'markux's pocket pair.
'Bingydread' ($6,972) was the first to depart from the leading nine after
his top pair lost out to Craig '1GENERAL_TAO' Bergeron's pocket kings.
Bergeron also ended 'CardRack570's challenge with a straight. 'CardRack570'
($9,450) had the chance to better his opponents hand on the river with a
flush but he failed to connect with any cards and was eliminated in 8th
place.
'Markux' had been among the chip leaders when the final table got
underway but an ill timed aggressive play saw his otherwise impressive
performance come to an end. 'Baby3344' had initally rasied from middle
position with pocket eights. 'Markux' ($13,650) sensed an opportunity to put
his opponent under significant pressure with pocket threes but 'baby3344' met
the call and his higher pair held up and 'markux' had to settle for a five
figure pay day.
'AADJWAA' had opened up a healthy chip lead by this point and he
eliminated 'general_jim3' soon after. 'General_jim3' ($17,850) had called off
all of his chips with Js-7s from an early position. 'AADJWAA' made the call
with Ah-2s and the high card Ace prevailed as the action went five handed.
'1GENERAL_TAO' finally met his match when he moved all in on a
Ad-6h-4d-Jc-3s board with a complete bluff. 'Baby33344' had called bets on
the flop and turn with top pair and he met another generously sized bet on
the river as '1GENERAL_TAO' ($23,520) headed for the exit door.
AAJWAA' ($33,600) was the next to fall after re raising all in from the
an early position with two pair. 'Baby3444' made the call with a flush and
only three remained.
The leading trio then brokered a deal which would see the jackpot split
relative to chip stack sizes before playing down to a winner. Chip leader
'Akademnuk' ($67,681) landed the greatest share though 'baby3344' ($59,301)
and 'platon33' ($57,565) also took home impressive sums.
The tournament was over only two hands later after all three players
called off their entire stacks with non premium cards. 'Adamenuk' was ahead
pre flop with Ah-5s and the 3s-5h-Js-7d-4s board failed to hit either
'platon33' (Kd-9d) or 'baby3344' (Ks-2h) as the unknown online poker pro
triumphed.
