Week 2 $250K GTD
Day 3 Completed
"Maichidon7" from Russia was the player with all the chips when the final table of the $250,000 guaranteed Event #3 of the 2022 888Poker Millions Superstorm. They made their way through 973 total Day 1 players, and 147 returning players on Day 2 to come into the final table with the middle stack of about 1.2 million.
Both Day 2 and Day 3 were lightning-fast affairs, with the second day finishing in a bit more than 3 hours, and the final table lasting barely 90 minutes. Brazil's "khalifaa00" started the day with the most chips, but the best they could do was fifth, and fourth place ended up going to the second stack to start the day, "oldfandango".
On the other hand, "nolimitbud" started the day with a short stack, and managed to ladder that up to third place money after hitting a few hands early on to survive. "bigish" was the one big stack that got into the top three, upgrading their third-place start of day position to second-place money.
