"davidchien88" Wins WSOP Super Circuit Online Series Event #16: $840 Bounty Hunters Championship ($113,881)
After about ten hours of play, Taiwan's "davidchien88" won the WSOP Super Circuit Online Series Event #16: $840 Bounty Hunters Championship to claim the $49,038 top prize along with a whopping $64,843 in bounties to bank a total of $113,881.
"davidchien88" made it to heads-up play with more than a 2:1 chip advantage, and they quickly turned on the pressure. Before the final break, they were up nearly 8:1, and though second-place finisher Jakub "Janusz1957PL" Michalak (second - $66,135) did manage to survive with a double, he ultimately busted in a cooler running two pair into a flopped set.
Also scoring big at the final table were Enrico Camosci (third - $48,597), Eder "BlueMoon" Campana (fifth - $28,575), and Robert Haigh (eighth - $26,596).
The event itself was another huge success for GGPoker with 1,477 entries generating a $1,181,600 prize pool to smash the $1 million guarantee.
