Sunday Briefing: Former EPT Grand Final Champ Nicolas Chouity Wins Sunday Supersonic
Former European Poker Tour Grand Final champion Nicolas "niccc" Chouity was one of the big winners online on Sunday thanks to walking away with a victory in the $215 Sunday Supersonic on PokerStars.
The Sunday Supersonic is a hyper-turbo structured, six-max tournament that typically takes less than two hours to complete despite attracting almost 1,500 entrants. This week’s Supersonic saw 1,401 players take to the felt. After only 117 minutes, Chouity was the only player who had chips in front of him, meaning he had won the $47,334.20 first-place prize.
A tournament that takes far longer than two hours to complete is the Sunday Million, which this week took 12 hours and one minute to whittle the 6,271 entrants down to the winner. The final four players decided to strike a deal, which locked up at least $90,000 for each of them.
Finishing in fourth place was the United Kingdom’s "HKongBanker" ($90,000) and he were followed to the rail by Brazil's "neto gol" ($142,082.26), "Lekerov" ($125,000), with Greece's "AlexanGeo" finishing on top ($144,100.20).
