Online Poker Weekend: 'LosChief', 'bigdennys' Capture Majors
"LosChief" and "bigdennys" were the chiefs of <a href=https://www.pokernews.com/online-poker-rooms.htm>online poker</a> on Sunday, triumphing in the PokerStars Sunday Million and the special monthly Full Tilt $1 Million Guaranteed, respectively. Bigdennys scored the night's biggest payday in the Full Tilt special event, collecting $206,106.08, while LosChief won out after a two-way chop in the Sunday Million, finishing with a total of $183,134.80 for his efforts. Here's how the action unfolded:
PokerStars Sunday Million
The PokerStars Sunday Million attracted a field of 8,260 for a total prize pool of $1,652,000. Among the best finishes short of the final table were 4ofaKindBud in 13th place ($5,782), AJinOK in 17th ($4,130), Stuart "thedonator" Paterson in 24th ($3,304), Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis in 35th ($2,973.60), Paul "ComeOnPhish" Lieu in 59th ($2,478), Greg "DuckU" Hobson in 60th ($2,478), Scott "SCTrojans" Freeman in 61st ($2,478) and Faraz "The-Toilet 0" Jaka in 62nd ($2,478). The chips counts to start the final table were as follows:
twopairdad – 18,272,833
LosChief – 12,200,744
Oracle MCA – 11,041,821
AngeL_fH – 9,848,917
Birdstone44 – 8,614,498
play2call – 7,921,473
Aaron "dyeti" Armstrong – 5,459,890
Raccabacka – 4,982,369
Matt "swifterjet" Swift – 4,257,455
Eliminated from the final table first was Raccabacka, at the 150,000/300,000/30,000 level. From middle position, twopairdad raised to 900,000 and Raccabacka moved all in from the big blind for 4,152,870, backing 3♥3♠. Twopairdad held A♦5♠ and called, winning the pot as the board rolled out 2♦5♥6♣8♦J♦. Raccabacka earned 11,564 for the ninth-place showing. At 200,000/400,000/40,000, AngeL_fH busted. Play2call opened with a min-raise to 800,000 and twopairdad smooth-called from the small blind. AngeL_fH then reraised to 1,985,500 out of the big blind and only twopairdad came along. The flop came 2♦2♥5♠ and AngeL_fH check-raised from 400,000 to 1,995,000. Twopairdad called and when the turn came the 3♥, a flurry of bets and raises led to AngeL_fH's tournament life being at risk with A♠A♣, now trailing twopairdad's A♥4♥ for a straight. An ace or two would have to hit the river to save AngeL_fH, but it was the 10♥ which made a flush for twopairdad. AngeL_fH took home $18,998 for eighth place. Play2call exited at the 250,000/500,000/25,000 level. From under the gun, play2call shoved for 4,116,473 with 4♣4♠ and found action from Oracle MCA, who held A♦J♣. The board ran out 5♦Q♣10♦2♠A♥ and play2call was out in seventh place for $28,910.
Aaron "dyeti" Armstrong was the casualty of 300,000/600,000/60,000. He was all in for his last 1,640,670 with K♠10♦ and was up against the pocket jacks of LosChief. The board delivered no kings as Armstrong departed in sixth place for $41,300. Oracle MCA departed next at 400,000/800,000/80,000. After losing a key pot to Matt "swifterjet" Swift, Oracle MCA's tournament life was on the line with A♥J♣ against twopairdad's K♣4♦. The board, however, came 9♠7♦4♦A♦4♥, and Oracle MCA hit the rail in fifth place for $57,820. Matt "swifterjet" Swift was the next to go. After losing a good portion of his chips when his A-Q ran into Birdstone44's A-K, Swift committed his last 2,824,172 with J♥5♠. Unfortunately for Swift, he ran into twopairdad's A♠A♥. The board ran out Q♥K♠10♦8♠4♣ and Swift exited in fourth place for $74,340. Two hands later, Birdstone44 shoved from the small blind with a big stack and twopairdad called all in for 8,473,328 with 3♥3♣. Birdstone44 held K♥Q♥ and when the board rolled out J♣8♠6♠10♣9♦, Birdstone44 made the nut straight to eliminate twopairdad in third place for 91,686.
The final two competitors then struck a deal that guaranteed each the following:
LosChief - $153,134.80
Birdstone44 - $151,560.40
With $30,000 on the line, LosChief held a slight edge as play resumed and went on to the win. On the final hand Birdstone444 shoved for 13,084,204 with K♥J♠ and LosChief called with K♣5♣. The flop was a safe A♣9♣10♠ for Birdstone44, but the turn was the 5♠ that put LosChief ahead. The river was the 8♦ and Birdstone44 was eliminated as the runner-up, winning $151,560.40, with LosChief collecting $183,134.80 for winning the PokerStars Sunday Million.
Final Results:
1. LosChief - $183,134.80

jkerr31 – 818,989
Jkerr31 hit the rail first at the 20,000/40,000/5,000 level. From early position, shhhookem raised to 100,000 and jkerr31 called from the big blind. The flop came Q♦10♦6♥ and jkerr31 went all in for 533,889, holding Q♠3♠. A quick call from shhhookem revealed K♠K♣. The turn and river were blanks for jkerr31 who earned $15,729 for ninth place. Next to bust was callcallfold at 30,000/60,000/7,500. An open raise to 420,000 by callcallfold brought a reraise from icefisherman5. Callcallfold called all in and showed 8♠8♦, but trailed icefisherman5's Q♦Q♠. The board ran out 2♣J♥K♠2♥6♦ and callcallfold departed eighth place for $20,672.40.
Shhhookem went out at 40,000/80,000/10,000. After pokerfiend48 raised to 190,000 from middle position, shhhookem went all in for 583,464 from the cutoff with A♦J♥. Pokerfiend48 called with 10♠9♦ and was able to win the pot when the board rolled out 10♦5♦8♠8♥7♥. The seventh-place finish paid shhhookem $26,420.25. Icefisherman5 fell at 50,000/100,000/10,000 after making a stand for 531,284 with K♠8♥. 4kappa provided action with A♦10♦ and won the hand on the river when the board came 8♠Q♣9♣Q♠A♥. The sixth-place finish paid icefisherman5 $35,952. Later in the level, luckbox... wasn't, when Bigdennys won a race with 3♠3♥ against luckbox's Q♥10♦. The board ran out 10♣3♣9♦J♣6♥ and luckbox was out the door in fifth for $49,995.75. 4kappa soon followed. Under the gun, 4kappa shoved for 824,919 with A♣6♣ and found action from Steve "gboro780" Gross in the big blind with 8♥8♣. The board brought no ace, running out 7♦10♣4♥K♦J♣, and 4kappa took home $66,061.80 for fourth place.
Pokerfiend49 made the final three before succumbing. At 60,000/120,000/15,000 Steve Gross raised all in from the small blind with over five million in chips, holding 10♣8♦. From the big blind, pokerfiend48 called all in for 1,298,702 and tabled A♣5♥. The cards came out 8♠J♣7♣K♠3♣ as Gross made a pair to send pokerfiend48 to the rail in third place for $82,801.95. The chip counts to begin heads-up play were as follows:
Steve "gboro780" Gross – 6,702,727
bigdennys – 4,532,273
The players were nearly even in chips when the key hand occurred. Gross raised to 315,000 and bigdennys called, leading to a 4♠Q♠K♥ flop. Bigdennys check-raised Gross' bet, from 360,000 to 960,000. Gross pushed all in and bigdennys snap-called with K♦4♦ for two pair. Gross held J♠7♠ for the flush draw and needed to catch up, but the turn and river blanked. The match ended in the next hand, when bigdenny's 8♣7♦ defeated Gross' K♦6♠ as the board came A♠7♣J♠3♦Q♥. This gave Steve "gboro780" Gross second-place money of $126,506.10, while bigdennys collected $206,106.08 for taking down the monthly Full Tilt $1 Million Guarantee.
