"AFA5671" Scoops More than $18K
It took less than seven hours for “AFA5671” to pick apart the tough field in this $75,000 Guaranteed High Roller Event. For their efforts, “AFA5671” will take home over $18,000. The top 11 players finished in the money, and when play started at the seven-handed final table, "AFA5671" was in the middle of the pack.
They were able to score the first knockout of the final table, when they trapped "ickyflakes" while holding pocket aces.
Next to go was "pariszoo11," who started the final table as the chip leader. However, nothing went right from there, and they busted in a pair vs. pair preflop cooler against "MarcZumoff."
"AFA5671" continued to build a big stack when they sent "fubadbeatbob" home in fifth place. It was a huge coinflip preflop, where "AFA5671" held pocket nines, and held against the ace-queen of "fubadbeatbob."
Four handed play went for a while before there were two eliminations in two straight hands. In the first, "ToddLaxMen" was sent to the rail, and once again, it was "AFA5671" who did the dirty work. Next, "MarcZumoff" would shove the turn with multiple draws, but "AFA5671" looked them up with top pair, and that pair held to get to heads-up play.
Heads up lasted for just a few minutes, before "AFA5671" was on the right side of a set vs. top pair cooler. The chips were in on the turn, and the hand was locked up as soon as "AFA5671" clicked call.
All of the players in the event enjoyed rake-free action thanks to 75 players buying into the tournament to exactly meet the guarantee.

Other Wednesday Results: 8-Games See Overlay
While the big Wednesday event did meet its guarantee, that wasn't the case when it came time for the second event of the day, the 8-game.
The $200 High version attracted 64 entries but that left it a couple of thousand of dollars shy of the $15K guarantee. The biggest slice of the free money pie went to "123456ers" who earned $4,660. Meanwhile, the $50 Medium event got 133 entries to leave it $850 short of the $7.5K guarantee. "hunterm708" came out atop a four-player chop there to get $1,424. It was their second title of the series after shipping 11-L: $200 NLHE [8-Max], $30K GTD for $8,016.
The $20 Low version inched past its $3K guarantee as "SirPilesMcGee" nabbed $614 for topping the 167-entry field.
