‘B4NKR0LL3R’ wins Sunday Million and Sunday Wrap-Up

The Sunday Million has an overlay of around $150k this weekend, no doubt due to the huge amount of heated action available in the Bounty Builder Series. Nobody was complaining. Overlays mean extra value for players.

UK player ‘B4NKR0LL3R’ swept in on the additional value like a well-trained hawk, earning $105,728 for first place.

B4NKR0LL3R’ has been making a massive impact on the online tournament scene in recent years. Previous wins include a high stakes WCOOP final table and a recent Winter Series victory. The Sunday Million is their biggest score so far.

Amazingly, whilst the Sunday Million was still in play, ‘B4NKR0LL3R’ was busy winning the Sunday Wrap-Up, adding $4,341 to what would be a huge double score.

Greek player ‘0cream4’, a regular on the final tables in the High Roller Club, came second place in the Sunday Million for $76,727. Check out the full table of results below.

Bounty Builder Series Day 1

The opening day of the Bounty Builder Series gave us some of the biggest cashes of the weekend. A total of 12 events ran on Sunday, offering combined guarantees of over $2.5 million.

The biggest cash of the evening went to ‘T021TP’ from Russia, who won $44,771 in the $215 Bounty Builder Series 006 event. They also dished out a good few beatings to other players, taking a huge $23,467 in bounties.

But that wasn’t even the biggest bounty haul of the night. Not by a long shot.

That title belongs to high rolling reg ‘pisky16’ from Canada, who added an immense $52,117 in bounties to their $39,550 first place cash in the $2,100 Bounty Builder 006 event.

pisky16’ had to battle through a frighteningly tough final table, including SCOOP winner and Sunday Million runner-up ‘1_conor_b_1’ in second, and top ranked Niklas ‘Lena900’ Astedt, who finished third.
