The flop came 
and NOMAMES check-called a 250 bet. The 
turn saw another check-call from NOMAMES, this time for 600.
The river came 
, and after a check from NOMAMES, brotisserie chicken tanked, then pushed 5.650 over the line, forcing the fold from NOMAMES.

With just a few minutes to go until virtual cards are in the air, there are already 24 players waiting patiently for their chance at the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Late registration and re-entry are open for 3.5 hours after the start of play.
The Good Game Series at Natural8 is coming to a close today with the crown jewel for the series, the $25,000 buy-in, $1,000,000 guarantee GGS #473. Running since September 9th, the GGS offered hundreds of tournaments across the buy-in range with $50 Million in guarantees across the series.
The high rollers get a chance to come out to play in #473. For players who can dig $25,000 in loose change out of their couch cushions, the tournament will offer 15,000 chips to start, playing 15 minute blind levels down to a winner. Late registration is open for 3.5 hours, and re-entries are available during the late registration period.
In addition to the individual prizes, Natural8 is also running a leader-board promotion at all buy-in levels. At the top of the leader-board for the High games is Polish player "NO*****" so it seems likely that the Polish early-entry to the million dollar event, "NOMAMES", will be playing for added value over and above the prize pool.
Here's a look at the top five on the High leader-board:
| Place | Player | Country | Points | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NO***** | Poland | 9,497,334 | T$25,000 |
| 2 | Mi***** | Finland | 8,111,834 | T$18,000 |
| 3 | ch***** | UK | 7,310,161 | T$13,000 |
| 4 | Pi******* | Canada | 7,023,242 | T$10,000 |
| 5 | St******* | Mexico | 6,220,719 | T$8,500 |
