WCOOP High Roller Event Won by Sumpas
The High Roller event of the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker has ended and it was online player Sumpras who came out victorious. 299 players paid the $10,300 buy-in and upped the $2 million guarantee to $2,990,000. Only thirty six players would cash out in this event with first place earning just over $611,000 and a champions bracelet.
Several Team PokerStars players participated in the event including Vanessa Rousso, Joe Hachem, Peter Eastgate and Barry Greenstein, among many others. Although PokerStars was represented very well, only two members were able to finish in the money. Anton Allemann who finished in 10th place and John Duthie who made the final table.
The final table would begin with nine players and online player Sowerss would have the chip lead. During final table play Vanessa Rousso, the host, as well as Joe Hachem and Vicky Coren, popped in to chat up the players as they competed.
Exiting in ninth place would be DDBeast followed closely by John Duthie in eighth. Festivuss, KevBoyStar, Belabacsi and SCTrojans would follow, leaving BeLOWaBOVe, Sowerss and Sumpas to compete in three way play.
Sumpas would make a move on BeLOWaBOVe where both would end up all in. Sumpas rivered a straight on the hand and BeLOWaBOVe was out in third place. heads up play would then begin between Sumpas and Sowerss, with Sumpas in a strong lead.
Though Sowerss was down by almost 2 million chips he would fight hard and heads up play would last almost one hour. In the final hand the flop would show K-4-4 with Sowerss eventually moving all in. Sumpas called and showed his K-10 while Sowerss showed J-10. The turn was a 7 and the river a 3 which left Sowerss out in second and Sumpras to claim the victory.
Final Results:
1. Sumpas $611,455
2. Sowerss $448,500
3. BeL0WaB0Ve $337,870
4. SCTrojans $254,150
