PCA: Ryan “g0lfa” D’Angelo Leads with 24 Left
Ryan D’Angelo can’t be too disappointed about missing the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) bracelet ceremony today. The online poker pro known as “g0lfa” on Stars was one of the three players in the 2009 WCOOP who won two different events.
YrrsiNN and hassan77 Net Big Wins
The holiday season is kicking into gear and as such, it is only fitting that poker players got into the giving spirit. Two three-way chops in the PokerStars Sunday Million and Full Tilt Poker $1 Million Guarantee ensured that the wealth was spread around with six different players walking away with six figure scores to their credit. Throw in the results of the Sunday Brawl and Warm-Up and there were nine different people who had $100,000+ days yesterday not to mention several chops in most every major tournament.
Marius Heiene Tops Day 1B, ElkY Close Behind in Prague
The second starting day of EPT Prague saw an unprecedentedly large field of poker players descend on the Hilton in the capital of the Czech Republic. The 367 players on Day 1B were too much for the tournament area to handle, meaning tournament director Thomas Kremser had to move some of them into the area reserved for cash games until enough players were eliminated to reduce the field to the tournament’s normally prescribed boundaries.
Caio_pimenta, WooohSaaah Big Sunday Winners
This weekend may have been about giving thanks and sharing what we have with others, but those sentiments did not extend to the poker tables during this week’s Sunday Majors. There was very little sharing with neither the Sunday Million nor the Full Tilt $750,000 Guarantee ending in a chop. The Million ended with an outright win by Brazilian player Caio Cesar “caio_pimenta” Pimenta worth almost $260,000. He managed to defeat a final table line-up that featured Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden, who told the table if he won the tournament he was going to take the winings and go play Isildur1. Lodden and the mystery Swede will have to spar another time though, as the Norwegian pro busted out in 5th place. The winner of the $750,000 Guarantee, meanwhile, went to WooohSaaah, who netted more than $156,000 for the win.
