DraftKing's first-ever King of the Beach certainly had its share of excitement on Sunday. A total of 50 entries competed for a $1 million top prize at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, and it came down the the final game of the day to determine the champion.
Ayton Jankowitz and Aaron Merchak, the two minds behind the "Kobe4MVP" account on DraftKings, put together the winning lineup and pocketed the $1 million top prize. Jankowitz and Merchak rostered Seattle's combo of Russell Wilson and Doug Baldwin, as well as a great running back tandem of LeVeon Bell and C.J. Anderson, to finish the event with 193.92 points. A Wilson-to-Baldwin touchdown late in the game pushed "Kobe4MVP" past Ben "Comox_Warrior" Burns and into the lead.
Burns finished second in the tournament for a hefty prize of $350,000, and Branden "yourfavwhiteguy" Hampton finished third for $200,000.
