Sunday Briefing: Felipe Ramos Secures GGPoker BHS Title

October 12, 2020

The $40 million guaranteed Bounty Hunter Series kicked off GGPoker this weekend and Felipe Ramos got the series off to a flying start by taking down a $10,300 buy-in event.

BHS 012: Super MILLION$ Bounty Hunters saw 94 players pay $10,300 for the chance of glory and a possible massive payout. The top 13 finishers received a slice of the main prize pool, with Mark Radoja busting in 14th to burst the money bubble; Radoja did collect $5,000 worth of bounties, however.

The final table was a star-studded affair. “Gr4vyB04t” was the first finalist to bust, their ninth place finished yielded a total prize worth $30,827.

Then came the eliminations of Andras Nemeth and Austria’s “MarkHateley”, the latter managing to finish seventh despite not claiming one cent in bounties.

“TheodoreRhye” and “DanBiz” followed the bustees to the rail before Pascal Hartmann ran out of steam in fourth and banked $71,015. It turned out to be a solid day at the office for Hartmann as he also won a GGPoker tournament later.

George Wolff crashed out in third for $71,791, which left Vietnam’s “ilike2goktv” and Ramos to lock horns heads-up. Brazil’s Ramos got the job done and banked $128,437 worth of bounties for a combined prize worth $212,334. His Vietnamese runner-up banked $153,478.

The High Roller MILLION$ paid out some massive prizes on October 11, with the final table alone awarding almost $850,000!

China’s “degenkaliu” got their hands on the lion’s share of that impressive sum, namely $275,594. The Chinese grinder defeated Japan’s “Qoomame” heads-up to secure the title in a battle of the Far East. Qoomame, while disappointed not to win, must be delighted with the $188,837 second-place prize they secured.

One other player saw their initial investment turn into six figure. Third-place finisher “GFsantos” of Brazil walked away with a cool $129,391.
