Tuesday 5th May 2009 Online Poker Room’s First May Warm-Up
Leading online poker room PokerStars.com held its first Sunday Warm-Up event of May earlier this week and awarded the winner well over $121,000 for defeating 4,175 other competitors.
The tournament had a buy-in of $215 alongside a guaranteed jackpot of $750,000 but the high number of players pushed the prize pool to $835,200 with the last 630 players receiving a cash prize.
Going into the final table, ‘delaney_kid’ held the chip lead and ‘UNoWho11’ crashed out first to take home $6,681. In eighth place, ‘Daradan0s’ was awarded $10,440 while ‘ralsLe’ finished in seventh for $18,793 after earlier doubling and chipping up.
Online competitor ‘plasticard’ soon followed in sixth for $27,144 before ‘delaney_kid’ squandered his early lead to take home $35,496 for fifth spot. ‘I_DESTROY_U’ left in fourth $47,188 followed by ‘lbh26’ in third for $68,904.
This left ‘davdav23’ and ‘sirpietah’ going heads-up and the two soon agreed a deal with $10,000 left for the winner. The match came down to the final hand with ‘davdav23’ all-in holding a Jack of Clubs and an Ace of Hearts while ‘sirpietah’ had pocket sixes. The dealer showed a Queen of Spades, four of Diamonds, Ace of Spades, six of Spades and Ace of Clubs to give ‘sirpietah’ the victory and the $121,692 prize. For second spot, ‘davdav23’ walked away with $106,634.
