You��ll Want Bad Beats at GGPoker With The New Bad Beat Jackpot
This week��s Super MILLION$ final table started with only eight players thanks to a double-elimination at the end of Day 1, as detailed in our final table preview. Starting with only eight players meant everyone returning to their seats did so having locked up $50,435 and were only seven eliminations away from a $284,669 score.
"Butchie" was the first of the finalists to fall by the wayside. The Mexico-based player was enjoying only their second in-the-money finish at GGPoker and hoping for a six-figure prize. However, Butchie had to make do with a $50,435 payday after their tournament ended an hour into the final table. Butchie open-shoved for 510,492 with ace-trey of hearts during the 35,000/70,000/8,500a level, and Dave "Endboss22" McLeod called in the cutoff with ace-king of spades. Nemeth came along for the ride from the big blind with ace-jack. The active players checked down to the river, McLeod claiming the pot with a pair of kings.
Lucas Greenwood bowed out during the same level. Nemeth started the ball rolling with a raise to 147,000 from early position with king-jack of diamonds. Greenwood three-bet all-in for 629,066 on the button with ace-jack. An all-diamond flop left the unfortunate Greenwood drawing dead.
Two-time Super MILLION$ champion Ottomar Ladva saw his quest for a third title end in a sixth-place finish, which happened to payout the last five-figure prize of the evening. With blinds of 40,000/80,000/10,000a, Ladvha raised to 296,000, leaving himself only 136,130 chips behind. China��s "Jerome001" three-bet all-in for 776,867, and Ladva called all-in. It was king-jack for Ladva and ace-jack for Jerome001. Both players paired their jack on the flop but Jerome001 also caught an ace on the turn to send Ladva to the showers.
Thomas Muehloecker��s wait to become a Super MILLION$ champion continues after he crashed out in fifth place. Muehlocker��s 11th Super MILLION$ final table appearance ended when he got his short stack in with king-trey of clubs and ultimately lost to the ace-seven of "LittleMonk."
Fourth place and an impressive $135,589 went to Chinese grinder Jerome001, who found themselves nursing a short stack after losing a coinflip with king-jack against Nemeth��s pocket tens. Jerome001 shipped their five big blinds in with eight-five of clubs from the button, and LittleMonk called with jack-eight of diamonds from the big blind. Jack-high was good enough to reduce the player count by one.
Heads-up was set soon after when McLeod fell in third despite being a substantial chip leader at the start of three-handed play. McLeod open-shoved for 15 big blinds with pocket nines and LittleMonk called with king-ten. LittleMonk��s call was rewarded with trip kings on the flop, which improved to a full house on the river.
Nemeth went into the one-on-one battle with LittleMonk holding a 7,505,690 to 5,594,310 chip advantage. It was all over during the 70,000/140,000/17,500a level when LittleMonk ripped it in for 1,562,220 with ten-nine, and Nemeth called with pocket queens. An eight-high board featured no drama, and Nemeth secured his second Super MILLION$ title.
