UB.com Online Poker Tournament Recap (August 18, 2010)

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.
