Aleksey "somebody444" Churbanov Wins Event #9: $525 Bounty Deepstack ($69,143)
Russia's Aleksey "somebody444" Churbanov won the ninth WSOP Super Circuit Online Series gold ring in Event #9: $525 Bounty Deepstack No Limit Hold'em at GGPoker for $69,143 ($33,083 prize + $36,059 bounty) in a marathon of an event lasting 10 1/2 hours from start to finish.
Churbanov was heads-up against Jonas "LobyPewis" Mackoff, who was vying for his third career win. If Mackoff pulled off the win, he would have become the first two-time gold ring winner of this festival as last Saturday he shipped Event #5: $315 BOUNTY GIANT No Limit Hold'em for $71,140 and his second ring.
While Mackoff was unable to capture his second title this festival he did walk away for a second straight week with a monster prize as his runner-up performance in Event #9 was worth $47,901 including $14,899 in bounties.
Churbanov and Mackoff weren't the only big names at the final table as Pablo "PibeCaslaa" Roman (fourth - $28,341), Esteban "siemprechill" Gomez (fifth - $21,768), Scott "Abracadabraa" Hill (sixth - $22,996), Artem "BlackfileOK" Tuliupa (seventh - $10,713), and Abhishek "muckmuckgo" Goindi (eighth - $10,449) all collected five-figure hauls at the final table.
The event itself was another success story for GGPoker with 1,605 entries generating a huge $802,500 prize pool to obliterate the $500,000 guarantee slapped on this event.
