Four-Way Deal in The Thunder
The €80+8 The Thunder Side Event got underway at 8 p.m. local time and the initial guarantee of €10,000 was crushed thanks to 235 entries, including 36 re-entries, which created a prize pool of €18,800. The tournament was scheduled to play down to a winner the same night, but once the final table was reached at 5 a.m. local time, all remaining hopefuls bagged and tagged their chips.
Ten players returned to the tables of Casino Barcelona at 12 p.m. local time and it took just over an hour to get down to the last four. Since the stacks were very similar, the four looked at ICM numbers and quickly agreed to a deal. Munir Iqbal Sanchez, who started the additional day in the lead, also had the most chips when the deal was and was awarded the first trophy of the 2017 888Live Poker Festival.
