Online Poker -- Scott 'SCTrojans' Freeman Runner-Up at PokerStarsTheNutters Takes it Down at Full Tilt |
|
It was definitely a down week for the majority of the sites in the wake of the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP). Every site's major Sunday tournament failed to meet its guarantee except for Cake. Despite the decrease in traffic, there were still some major tournament victories from some of the game's best players.
Over at PokerStars, Scott "SCTrojans" Freeman made a run at the Sunday Million, falling just short with a runner-up finish for $124,950. Freeman lost a big pot heads up to master zulle to put his tournament in jeopardy, and then he finally went out when his pocket jacks were cracked on the river.
Online Player of the Year leader Shaun Deeb continued to dominate on his day off from the WPT Championship at Bellagio. Deeb cashed four times and final-tabled the Sunday 500, along with the $55 rebuy. Deeb is now 634 points ahead of second-place resident Steve "gboro780" Gross.
In the $100 rebuy, Peter "#1PEN" Neff took out Nick "FU_15" Maimone heads up for the victory. The second-place finish was enough to move Maimone into fourth place in the OPOY rankings. In the $200 rebuy, Shawn "slimshaggy" Luman defeated Owen "ocrowe" Crowe for $41,000.
The $100 rebuy on Full Tilt saw Travis "TravestyFund" Rice best Johan "busto_soon" Van Til for a $35,300 score.
David "SirSands" Sands won the Sunday Mulligan and also final-tabled the Cake Poker main event for a total of about $57,000.
