888poker Micro Rollers ChampionChips Series Gets Off To a Flying Start
Table Of Contents
Only seven of the 33 Micro Rollers ChampionChips Series' numbered events have crowned their champions, but it is evident the low-stakes poker tournament festival will be a massive hit with 888poker's players.
Six of the seven completed events smashed through their guarantees, while the $40,000 Opening Mystery Bounty High Roller missed out by only seven $55 buy-ins. The winner of that event, "vntuan63" of Germany, turned their $55 investment into a $3,314 score.
A field of 793 entrants, consisting of 570 unique players and 223 re-entries, left the prize pool teetering on the edge of its $40,000 guarantee. Three of the mystery bounties weighed in at $1,200 or more, and it was "cringed" of Montenegro who captured the first of a pair of $1,200 payouts despite finishing in 125th place.
Thirty-fifth place finisher "Jonathannens" from Brazil captured the other $1,200 mystery bounty payment.
The jackpot mystery bounty tipped the scales at an impressive $4,000, more than first place awarded. Argentina's "wilkpo12" opened the golden envelope containing this huge payout. They eventually busted in seventh and secured a tournament-leading $4,584 payment.
