Sunday Briefing: David “Ymobad” Imobach Wins the Sunday Million
While the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event final table was in full swing over in Las Vegas, thousands of poker players around the world sat around their computers grinding the biggest online poker tournaments of the week. All started their sessions with high hopes. For some, those hopes were dashed. For others, their dreams were realized.
One player now on cloud nine is Spain’s David “Ymobad” Imobach who turned $215 into $136,196.74 by taking down the PokerStars Sunday Million. Imobach now resides in the United Kingdom so he can play on the global PokerStars site. His decision to move abroad looks to have paid off judging by this excellent result.
The Sunday Million ended in a chop when it was heads up. Imobach took the larger of the two prizes, with Poland’s “jacu131” collecting a still very respectable $131,273.
