On Thursday, the clear highlight was 29-H: $300 NLHE [Progressive KO, Thursday Thrill SE] with a $40K guarantee that got cleared pretty easily with a prize pool north of $64K.
The final table of the Thursday Thrill event was simply dominated from start to finish by ��hashtagmtglife." They claimed six of the eight possible eliminations at the final table. As a result, they took home over three times the amount of money as anyone else, thanks to collecting over $11,000 in progressive bounties.
"hashtagmtglife" started the final table second in chips, and they claimed the first elimination of the final table when they busted ��outaahere�� in ninth place. ��Outaahere�� got their final chips in after the flop with a flush draw, straight draw, and over cards, but none of them would come through, sending them home in ninth.
Next, there was a double elimination, with ��hashtagmtglife�� once again doing the dirty work. This time, their pocket queens held up in a three way all in against the jacks of ��49642��, and ace-king of ��CancelChristmas.��
��hashtagmtglife�� kept their winning ways going with another knockout, this time of ��Paulie_Card$�� in sixth place. The latter was in great shape to double up preflop, but by the river, ��hashtagmtglife�� had made quads queens to claim yet another bounty.
Next, it was time for ��MrMonkeyJones�� to join the knockout action. They would have to come from behind, as their A?4? caught up with the ace-nine of ��jeroh07�� after flopping a pair of fours. No nine would come from there, getting play down to just four handed.
Fourth place would end up belonging to "StormRider7777", busting with ace-queen to the pocket kings of "ChrundleTheGr8."
The ��hashtagmtglife�� show continued from there however. First, they would once again come from behind, when their ace-eight bested the ace-ten of ��MrMonkeyJones.��
��hashtagmtglife�� began heads up play with a massive lead, and it only took a few hands for them to close it out in dramatic fashion. "ChrundleTheGr8" was all but guaranteed a key double up when they got their final chips in the middle with a set of sevens on the turn, but ��hashtagmtglife�� managed to hit their four-out straight draw to claim the final bounty of the event.
Still, it continued a successful series for "ChrundleTheGr8" as they added the second-place finish to two first-place wins from previous events.
