Once again the Sunday $20,000 Guaranteed was a huge success, with over five hours of tournament action to keep our players happy.
Remember our Turkey Day Grand Final heads-up finalists, Mada1970 and Bokonon? Well, last week Mada1970 came through on our Sunday 20k for a seveth place finish, and this week the Turkey Day Champion, Bokonon, came through for his shot at the 20k and cashed in tenth place, which is quite a feat considering the field of 297 players.
The final table was full of players holding exclusive online stars and accolades, key indicators of tough opponents.
A key hand came with seven players remaining, as a three-way all in bet was brought to the table pre-flop. carebearbluffer was sitting on A6, wwwwwwwwwwwwww (great username) held AK, but both were dominated by crACEy who held AA. The rest is history as crACEy took down a monster pot.
crACEy jumped in on one too many race situations and busted out a short time after the big win. Zagara took the lead and was in a very strong position against FrederickHendrick when it came to heads-up play.
After a confusing period of bluffs and raises, both players eventually found themselves all in against each other with somewhat underwhelming pocket cards. Zagara was ahead with A6s, while FrederickHendrink had Q3o. If either player picked up a pair from the table cards, it would all be over.
The board paired two Jacks, and the key card was Zagara‘s high Ace, meaning she took down the grand prize of $5400 for a first place win!
