"DegenCNol" Wins MICOOP Event #44: $250 NLHE [Progressive KO, Thursday Thrill SE for $12,749.11
PokerStars Michigan Championship of Online Poker (MICOOP) Event #31: $250 NLHE [Sunday Special SE], $100K GTD came to an end early Friday morning with "DegenCNol" defeating "xvuszvs2739" heads-up for the first-place prize of $12,749.11 ($5,352.41 + $7,396.70 in bounties).
The action started with 77 players and that number kept gradually building until the 276 total entries became official. The tournament met its guaranteed prize pool in Level 11 and generated a $64,308 prize pool ($32,154 regular prize pool & $32,154 bounty prize pool) after 276 total entries became official meaning, the top 39 finishers would get a piece of the pie with 80 players remaining.
Once registration ended, the remaining field dwindled quickly as "JaDoncic" bubbled the tournament at the start of Level 20, leaving the remaining players in the money.
From there, players started dropping by the wayside as "grandma1967" (38th place - $264.86), Patrick "MSPT-HOF" Steele (31st Place - $264.86 + $58.25 in bounties), "TY_GOVWHITMER" (17th Place - $322.20 + $502.41 in bounties), "Drago25785" (15th Place - $391.95 + $844.64 in bounties), and "floridurrrr" (10th Place - $476.79 + $1,143.13 in bounties) all got a piece of the pie but fell short of the making final table.
