UB.com's Online Poker Championship Series, which guarantees over $4 Million in tournament money and competition prizes, continued on Saturday, August 21st with the fifth and sixth of the UBOC5 tournament schedule’s twenty guaranteed events, attracting hundreds of players to the tables for the $128K GTD NLH Heads Up, hosted by Annie Duke, and the No Limit Hold’em 2X (second chance) Shortstack  $100K GTD.

UB’s $128K GTD NL Hold ‘em Heads Up saw 147 players eager to prove themselves in the Heads Up format, and with a $1000+50 buy-in attached to the event, the guaranteed prize pool quickly swelled to $147,000.  Along with Tournament Host Annie Duke (55th), a number of Team UB Pros turned out to support UBOC #5, including DEBO34 (66th), MARK SEIF (7th) and Team UB’s best Heads Up performer in the tourney, MARK ‘P0KER H0’ KROON who finished in 4th place.

 

It was an afternoon start that continued well into the night, but at the end of the long haul, it was THEBRIMMER who stole the show, proving the best ‘man’, or in this case ‘woman’ amongst the 147 competitors on the day. The final hand brought the 5c-3c-Kd on the Flop, the 6c on the Turn, and the Qd on the River. THEBRIMMER’s (Jc-Kd) pair of Kings was enough to overcome ENDER555’s Ac-7s.

 

“It’s my first UBOC event, and I’ll definitely be playing more of them,” said THEBRIMMER, who pocketed a stellar $39,690 for her star turn at the UB virtual felt.

 

Runner-up ENDER555 had to be content with the very respectable $22,050 prize money he banked for second place, along with the $200 in T$s he picked up for the Pro Bounty on P0KER H0’s head.

 

Other Pro Bounty winners each picked up $200 in T$s and a limited edition UBOC Sniper T-shirt for knocking a Team UB pro out of contention:


P0KER H0 (MARK SEIF)

SZEXIBIRS (ANNIE DUKE)

HOTWAX (DEBO34)

UBOC Event #6, the $200+15 NLH 2X (second chance) Shortstack $100K GTD, also ran yesterday, with 356 entries and 92 re-buys. For the second time in as many tournaments, a woman excelled at the game, with ACEGIRL123 emerging $25,000 richer and taking out top honors against second placed LECHUCKPOKER, who had held the power for most of the final table.

 

The tables turned when ACEGIRL123 picked up a critical pot with a Flush. Next LECHUCKPOKER shoved All-In with Jh-10c and was called by ACEGIRL123’s As-10s. The board delivered nothing for LECHUCKPOKER, and ACEGIRL123 took down the pot to capture UBOC Event #6.
