Thursday, April 13, 2022 was another exciting day of poker action in the PokerNews Cup on Global Poker. There were tournaments both for Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins players, and each event once again drew a large crowd.
We'll start things off with a recap of PokerNews Cup Qualifier 04 -- GC 11,000 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack. There was GC 4,000,000 guaranteed. The winner automatically advanced to the PokerNews Cup GC 100,000,000 final later this month. That individual is "SamBJammin," who beat out a field of 353 players to earn GC 765,600 on top of that series finale ticket.
There were additional winners of note, including the runner-up, "IBullet," who collected GC 570,000. The third place finisher was "Josiahsky" (GC 420,000). In fourth place was our very own PokerNews Stream Team member Jack "BittyPlaysPoker" Bittker (GC 320,000).
Over on the Sweeps Coin side with PokerNes Cup Qualifier 04 — SC 11 No Limit Hold'em Deepstack (SC 10,000 GTD), it was "72Kingswood" taking it down for SC 4,158.94. In skillfully outlasting an enormous field of 2,649 entrants, the champion also earned a spot in the upcoming PokerNews Cup SC 250,000 final. All players who finished in 2nd to 9th place automatically advance to the semifinals round.
The runner-up in the tournament was "InfraredMegatron," who earned SC 3,112.58. Taking third place and receiving SC 2,225.17 was "Theo247." An obvious fan of the great Phil Ivey took fourth place for SC 1,525.83 — "Philiveysboy1."
