Here is your UB.com online poker tournament recap for two major events that Gambling911.com has been advertising these past couple of days.
Day 1 saw a huge turnout of online poker players at UB.com, eager to test their NLH and mixed game skills.
EVENT # 1
First up at 20:05 ET was Event # 1, with 903 players who ponied up the $300+20 buy-in for the $200K GTD Sniper NLH event, hosted by Team UB’s Joe Sebok. ‘Seebs’ was eventually eliminated in 246th place, and had this to say after the event:
"Incredible start to the UBOC5 for the UB community. So stoked to be a part of it. I battled, which means bluffed, up and down the whole way but eventually succumbed when my pocket kings got cracked! Thought a monster comeback was in the works when I got down to 195 chips, but was not to be. Another tournament tomorrow though, which is why the UBOC is so great."
PBDRUNKS went on to win the tourney for $54,759.72.
A man of few words, and a regular winner in online poker tournaments, PBDRUNKS simply said: “Just another day man, but it feels good.”
Player BEMCD K.O.’d Joe Sebok, and picked up the $200 T$s and the special edition or busting a Team UB pro. BEMCD went on to finish in 73rd spot, also pocketing $487.62 in prize money. Players also shared in a Bounty Pool of $27,090.00, with a $30 Bounty on each player’s head.
