“Lucky_Jew_17” BEATS “Lena900” TO WIN THE MILLY

One of the most consistently great online tournament players in history almost took down the Sunday Million last night.

Current world no.3 (at the time of writing), Niklas “Lena900” Åstedt outlasted all but one of the $109 event’s 11,212 entries (which created a $1.12 million prize pool).

Ultimately it was Russia’s “Lucky_Jew_17” who came out on top, banking $114,039. Åstedt was forced to settle for second place and $82,751, meaning a Sunday Million title still eludes him. Prior to yesterday, the closest he’d come was a fourth-place finish back in 2014 worth $81,366.


MUEHLOECKER WINS THE WARM UP

A regular on the high roller live circuit, Thomas “WushuTM” Muehloecker is also a force on the virtual felt, proving so yesterday with a win in the $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up for $51,155.

The event attracted 268 entries, creating a $268K prize pool split between the top 34 finishers. The final table included Finland’s “elmerixx” (5th – $16,059), and runner-up Rory “DeosOner” Young (2nd – $38,290).


BIG WIN FOR “apestyles”

Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet

Canada’s Jon “apestyles” Van Fleet was in the winner’s circle this weekend, taking down the coveted $2,100 Sunday HR title for $56,111.

As always, the final table in this event was chock-full of talent. Michael “imluckbox” Addamo finished second for $43,185, followed by Austria’s “WATnlos” (3rd – $33,237), Samuel “€urop€an” Vousden (4th – $25,581), Niklas “Lena900” Åstedt (5th – $19,688), and Scott “Aggro Santos” Margereson (6th – $15,153).

Van Fleet is no stranger to huge online scores. He’s won WCOOPs, finished third in the Sunday Million twice, and has taken down the Super Tuesday on several occasions. As of today, he has just under $10.5 million in online earnings.


TAKING IT EZYNOW99

Brazil’s “ezynow99”, who currently plays from the UK, had the largest High Roller club score of the weekend. They took down the $530 Bounty Builder HR for $45,397 plus $42,331 in bounties, after defeating Germany’s Oliver “sk2ll_m0dr” Weis heads-up. Weis banked roughly $38K total.

That isn’t the largest career score for “ezynow99” though. Back in 2017 they took down the Sunday Million for $144,913.
