"ItsSykkunoHere" Wins BetMGM Pennsylvania Championship ($37,500)
The BetMGM Poker Online Championships concluded in Pennsylvania with the $1,000 Championship. The tournament attracted 142 entrants who generated a $134,900 prize pool. However, given it was a $150K GTD tournament the field enjoyed a little overlay!
The top 20 players made the money with a min-cash being worth $1,744.50, while $37,500 awaited the winner. The tournament was structured to last two days, so after “Dave_Portnoy” bubbled in 21st place, the tournament went on an overnight break.
At that point, “Queen LaQueef” sat atop the chip counts with 1,862,373 with "ItsSykkunoHere" sitting in second with 1,555,458. On the flip side, “HossBonaventure” was the short stack with 229,624. Play resumed in Level 22 (10,000/20,000/2,500) and surprisingly the chip leader at the start bowed out relatively early in 13th place for $1,950.
Instead, it was "ItsSykkunoHere" using their big stack to navigate their way all the way to the end, a victory worth $37,500.
