Runnersx2 Wins Largest Prize of the Battle of Malta Online
Table Of Contents
There are only five featured events remaining on the schedule of the Battle of Malta Online at GGPoker, including the massive �2,500,000 guaranteed Main Event. "Runnersx2" is one player who is likely to buy into the �555 Battle of Malta Online Main Event after taking down the largest prize of the festival so far.
"Runnersx2" was the last player standing in Event #11: �550 Grand Harbour Superstack and GGPoker rewarded them with an impressive �105,113, the biggest score to date. The tournament attracted 1,428 players who created a �746,130 prize pool that the top 206 finishers shared. A min-cashed weighed in at �952 but the least any of the nine finalists walked away with was a bankroll-boosting �10,566.
Israel's "Mooshtako" was the player who received the final table's first payout. Gabriel "gtavares10" Costa and "MegaLowBoy" joined the Israeli on the sidelines with prizes of �14,090 and �18,790, respectively.
Sixth place and �25,057 went to Daniel "Tournmination" Petersen, before Santiago "La Papualda" Varela ran out of steam and had to make do with the �33,414 fifth place prize.
The pay jumps continued increasing, with Brazilian sensation Brunno Botteon getting his hands on �44,559 when he busted in fourth. Heads-up was set when Estonian grinder Karl "HotBoy19" Mets bowed out and collected �59,421.
"Runnersx2" and Shiao "Mr_3rdBullet" Zhang clashed in the one-on-one section of the Grand Harbour Superstack. Zhang may want to consider changing his alias to "Mr_5thBullet" because that's how many he fired in this event. Anyway, Zhang fell at the final hurdle and saw that fifth �550 bullet turn into a cool �79,239, leaving "Runnersx2" to capture the title and an impressive �105,113.
