Sunday Briefing Players who call the United Kingdom and Ireland home helped themselves to some bankroll-boosting prizes in the online poker tournament world on January 30. While none of them scooped six-figure payouts, they did walk away with a tidy profit for their Sunday grind.
The GGPoker player known simply as “The Predator!” was one of 1,529 entrants in the $250 Sunday man Event. GGPoker guaranteed a prize pool of $250,000 but paid out an impressive $351,670.
The Predator! got their hands on $34,695 of that pot courtesy of navigating their way to a runner-up finish. Had they defeated “Stiopata” heads-up, that prize would have swelled to $46,268.
Jonathan Proudfoot had a similar result in the $525 Sunday Fifty Stack Bounty High Roller . The man from the North East eventually fell in third-place from 342 starters, and secured an $18,041 payday. Some $9,684 of that prize came from bounty payments; only the champion, “WoohooYESYoNo” won more from the bounty prize pool.
