GG Twitch Squad’s Kevin Martin Bags $207K Score
Table Of Contents
There were some massive prizes awarded at GGPoker this weekend thanks, in part, to the WSOPC Series that is taking place. Kevin Martin, a member of the GG Twitch Squad, narrowly missed out on securing a WSOP Circuit ring, but he did walk away with $207,178, which should go some way to making up for missing out.
Martin was one of 9,624 players who entered the $400 COLOSSUS event, a tournament that featured a $3,618,624 prize pool! The top 1,000 finishers reeled in at least $1,004 for their efforts, but the least any of the nine finalist could win was $36,842.
Hannes Speiser of Austria won that amount when his tournament ended abruptly in ninth place. Dutch grinder "Borpal" fell in eighth for $49,129 before Nick Maimone's elimination in seventh, which came with a $65,515 payout, reduced the player count further.
Sixth place and $87,366, the last five-figure prize of the tournament, went to Austria’s "chernis" before Aliaksei Boika busted in fifth for $116,505.

The race for the circuit ring and a colossal $368,421 top prize was now well and truly on. Unfortunately for Luis "CfOrTh3G0ldB" Dono, his race ended in a fourth place finish, although the $155,362 he collected will have gone some way to numb the pain.
It was at this point that Kevin Martin came unstuck, his epic deep run concluding in third place, which came with a $207,178 score, an almost perfect early Christmas present.
Martin’s exit left "dodiapa" and "O O L" heads-up for the title. There was no deal struck despite the difference between first and second place money being $98,000. This meant dodiapa walked away with $276,277 when they fell at the final hurdle, and O O L scooped the $368,421 top prize.
