2022 Retro Week at 888poker The $888,000 guaranteed Retro Week has reached the halfway stage at 888poker with 14 champions crowned. Those champions now have a sufficient bankroll to buy into the upcoming $300,000 guaranteed $215 Retro Week Main Event .
Romania’s “liviu_hzn” is the player who has won the biggest prize of Retro Week so far after they turned their $90 investment into $16,330. The Romanian came out on top of a 1,363-strong field in the $90 buy-in $100,000 guaranteed Sunday Challenge .
The top 180 finishers shared $111,766, with British grinder “EZ.PZ” bursting the money bubble. A min-cash weighed in at $223.53 but this increased to $1,542 by the time only nine players remained.
Nicolas “PKaiser” Fierro , a player with almost $13 million in online poker winnings, was the first of the finalists heading for the exits. “JulioFantin” of Brazil and Albania’s “LLudockha” were the next casualties; they banked $2,022 and $2,671, respectively.
Two more Brazilians fell in quick succession and saw their 888poker accounts swell by $3,553 and $4,771. “luish64” was the first of the Samba stars to fall, and “azevado45” joined his fellow countryman on the rail after.
liviu_hzn doubled before azevado45 when their aces held against the ace-six of “Agharazi” and they never looked back from this point.
“R3li_able” fell in fourth for $6,448 who lost when liviu_hzn’s king-queen came from behind to best their ace-nine. Then heads-up was set when “Ii1Ii1” ran their last four big blinds with jack-seven into the queen-ten of liviu_hzn.
The eventual champion held 41.1 big blinds against the 25.3 big blind stack of Agharazi and they never looked back. The final hand saw all the chips go into the middle, liviu_hzn holding ace-king of hearts against pocket nines. A king on the flop proved more than enough for liviu_hzn to become a Retro Week champion. Retro Week #2 – $100,000 Sunday Challenge Final Table Results
