“s7udz88” Comes Out Victorious in Event #16: $1,060 8-Max No-Limit Hold’em Main Event
After more than six hours of play, it was “s7udz88” who ended up coming out on top in this 92-entrant field. After being eliminated in the round of 16 of the Heads Up tournament yesterday, he came out on top today to take down the biggest prize of the BetMGM March Mania series in Michigan.
The tournament began with 92 entrants. Players like Andrew Neeme and Mario “marioparty” Arribas, “FreeTupan” and yesterday’s champion “TreeGuy88” were unable to find success in the early going of the tournament, with TreeGuy88 even firing four bullets.
The bubble was reached rather quickly after registration closed. Many players found themselves doubling on the stone including the eventual champ “s7udz88” who was the short stack with 13 players left. Eventually a three way all-in occurred between “SlurpeeJunkee”, “FrankiePockets” and “georgejanssen” where “georgejanssen” eliminated both players when he rivered the nut flush. “SlurpeeJunkee” who had less chips was the official bubble boy and “FrankiePockets” pocketed 12th place money.

A few eliminations later, it was the elimination of “AKittle” in 9th place($2,500) that brought the players down to the final table when their pocket twos could not hold up against the ace-seven of “ErikBachman”.
The first few eliminations of the final table were fast and furious, with “DoneYetOhYes” falling in 8th place($3,250) after their ace-king failed to improve against the pocket twos of “s7udz88”.
Shortly after, “georgejanssen” bluff-shoved into “ErikBachman” with bottom pair and the nut flush draw, only to get looked up by pocket kings. The player who brought the tournament into the money, could not find the flush on the river and they were eliminated in 7th place($4,150).
“ReggieRayRay” fell in 6th place($5,550) when they got their chips all-in with king-queen suited against the ace-king of “Sureloc4444” and the pocket tens of “Wilma Dicfit”. A king high runout, eliminated “ReggieRayRay” and saw “Sureloc4444” double through “Wilma Dicfit” as well.
After losing that flip, “Wilma Dicfit” went out the door in 5th place($7,350) when they once more could not win a flip against “Sureloc4444” as their queen-jack failed to improve against ace-seven.
“FishyFish495” came into the final table with the shortest stack by far, but was able to ladder up many times before finding their run ending in 4th place($9,500) when they got in their chips with two-five suited and could not improve against the jack-ten of “Sureloc4444”.
Three-handed play was where pace slowed down significantly. “Sureloc4444” had the most chips at the start, but both “ErikBachman” and “s7udz88” each took big pots off of him, which put him at the bottom of the chip counts. Eventually, he got all of his chips in with a queen high flush draw against the top pair of “s7udz88” and could not improve, leaving him with a podium finish of 3rd place($12,750).
Only one hand of heads up occurred and it saw “ErikBachman” getting in his chips with pocket threes against the pocket queens of “s7udz88”. No improvement was found on the board and “EricBachman” was eliminated in 2nd place($17,500), giving the title to “s7udz88”.
