"GARYtheGiraffe" Wins PACOOP 36: $250 NLHE [Progressive KO, Thursday Thrill], $40K GTD for $11,676.21
Event #36 of the 2020 PACOOP 36: $250 NLHE [Progressive KO, Thursday Thrill], $40K GTD surpassed its guaranteed prize pool Thursday night, drawing 268 entries (179 entries, 89 re-entries) to produce a $62,440 total prize pool ($31,222 regular prize pool & $31,222 bounty prize pool).
The tournament started with 50 registered players, though that number more than doubled in the first three levels of play.
Roughly one-third of the 268 entries recorded throughout the three hour late registration period remained when the prize pool became official, and it took an hour from there to reach the money, where the top 39 were paid.
Another hour went by before the final three tables were reached, and eventually, only nine remained after "GARYtheGiraffe" eliminated "xxx2575" in 10th place on the final table bubble.
Just under six-and-a-half hours of play brought the number of remaining players down to one as "GARYtheGiraffe" defeated "CallYourMommy" heads-up to claim the first-place winnings of $11,676.21 ($5,197.21 + $6,479 in bounties) for their efforts.
