"TWOsl0w4u" Takes Down Event #34: $250 PLO 6-Max High Roller ($6,332)
MICOOP Event #34: $250 PLO 6-Max High Roller – Championship Trophy Event concluded on Saturday, with "TWOsl0w4u" taking down the trophy and $6,332 after defeating "Meatballs9000" heads-up.
The event drew a total of 124 entries, generating a $28,892 prize pool, which nearly doubled the $15k guarantee.
The brisk blind levels led to the tournament lasting a mere six hours, with the money bubble bursting after "zscoro" got all in with a combo draw and whiffed against a flopped straight of "jjjj7777505".
It didn't take long from there to reach the final table after a slew of eliminations, including Paul "grandma1967" Mattioda, who was eliminated in 11th place after losing most of his chips to "TheColonelAngus".
