��georgejanssen�� Wins BetMGM Michigan Championship for $50,000 and 2nd Title of Series; ��coNNB�� Victorious in Phase Event
The BetMGM Poker Online Championships concluded in Michigan with the $1,000 Championship on Sunday. The tournament attracted 147 entrants who generated a $139.650 prize pool. However, given it was a $200K GTD tournament the field enjoyed a juicy overlay.
The top 20 players made the money with a min-cash being worth $2,326, while $50,000 awaited the winner. The tournament was structured to last two days, so after ��CNdtw34�� bubbled in 21st place, the tournament went on an overnight break.
At that point, ��MiLawyer1970�� was chip leader with 1,825,114 while ��s7udz88�� was hot on their heels with 1,538,457. Others to bag big were ��Fluffhead�� (1,218,368) and ��georgejanssen�� (1,079,061), while ��FlipWitnEdge�� was the short stack with just 180,759.
The big stack of ��s7udz88�� only managed to take them to an 11th-place finish for $3,400, while ��MiLawyer1970�� did a bit better taking sixth for $10,400. In the end, it was ��georgejanssen�� coming out on top for $50,000 and their second title of the series. Their first came a week prior when he bested a 44-entry field to win Event #6: $500 7-Max PKO for $7,570.
