MicroMillions 5 Event #88 was another twist to the game brought to by the brilliant behind the scenes. 6-Max Action Hour is a rebuy tournament designed to provide exactly what the name suggests, action.

The tournament begins with elevated blind levels during the 60 minute rebuy period to induce players to make bigger moves to create more rebuys and a bigger prizepool. Once the rebuy period is closed, the blind levels roll all the way back to the normal structure for the start of the tournament at 15/30.

This creates impressively deep stacks throughout the tournament and player have plenty of room to maneuver.

9,836 player entered the tournament, then put another 19,217 re-buys and 5,257 in add-ons to build the prizepool up to $137,240. 1,350 spots were paid and the winner was scheduled to make nearly $20,000.

It took nearly nine hours to play down to the final table but it was ready to go with the exit of Brazilian Miyake Pini in 7th place. Norwegian Hardball Champion and recent SCOOP winner Kjersti “UwouldntKnow” Grini was a chipleader for the final few tables but caught some bad breaks to start the final table 4th of 6 in chips.

vano04 had 13 big blinds left and called the move with 7♠ 7♣ against Q♥ 10♠ with a good chance for the double. The K♠ J♣ 3♥ flop was favorable but things turned bad with the 10♣ . No miracle on the 3♠ river and vanov04 was knocked out in 4th place for $5,489.60.

Kjersti “UwouldntKnow” Grini plays hardball, eliminated in 3rd

Grini needed an eight or something special but didn’t see it in the 10♥ 5♦ 4♣ then no love on the 2♣ turn or Qâ™  river.
