The Sunday Briefing: Charlie "chaz_man_chaz" Combes Wins Full Tilt Poker $350K Guarantee
Another weekend of online poker tournaments is in the books at PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker . Even though most poker pros are trying to chase gold bracelets in Las Vegas , several notables found success on the virtual felts on Sunday. Among them was Charlie "chaz_man_chaz" Combes , who took down the Full Tilt Poker $350,000 Guarantee for $66,500 after negotiating a heads-up deal. Combes also won the PartyPoker $50K Guaranteed , making for a very lucrative Sunday.
Other who scooped big scores on Sunday were Brian "Halfrek" Elgaard , Randy "rh300487" Hereman , Joris "Tyren0" Ruys , Mike "Pipedream17" Dietrich , Bradley "BaZa88" Bower , and Luke "Bit2Easy" Reeves . Elgaard and Reeves each made two major final tables between PokerStars and FTP.
