Yurasov Wins the $1,050 Super Tuesday, Spraggy Busts in 12th
Belarusian Dmitry "yurasov1990" Yurasov made it three WCOOP victories by taking down the $1,050 edition of the Super Tuesday. Yurasov outlasted 347 opponents and collected $59,161 of the $350,000 prize pool. His prize would have been larger had he not struck a heads-up deal with Latvian Pavels "Rigapols81" Spirins.
Only 39 players returned for this event's Day 2, PokerStars ambassador Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg among them. Spragg progressed to the final two tables, but came unstuck in 12th place, a finish good for $5,723. "go4gunners" popped the final table bubble when they fell in tenth.
The final table was a cosmopolitan affair, with eight countries represented. Niklas "Lena900" Astedt of Sweden was eliminated in ninth before Denmark's "starswins :)" and Bulgarian ace Ognyan "cocojamb0" Dimov followed suit. Brazilian duo "mattheusttcm" and Davi "DaviMMaker" Cola were the next to head for the exits before "benmiller500" and "JustTrappedU2 of the United Kingdom and Austria crashed by the wayside, leaving Yurasov heads-up against Spirins.
The heads-up duo struck a deal before continuing the tournament. Yurasov got the job done to become a three-time WCOOP champion.
