Newcomer irishgirl08 Defeats More Experience Players at Ultimate Bet $200k
873 rounders put up their buy-in for the Sunday $200k at Ultimate Bet on November 23, 2008. The site, which is now part of the CEREUS network with Absolute Poker, paid out $25,400 to meet the guarantee. This drew in a few well-known players including UB-sponsored pro Mark “P0kerH0” Kroon. He doubled his buy-in by finishing in 77th place.
Other notables to make some moolah in the tourney included Mike (1GoLeafsGoEh1) Leah, Brian (dubbeemin) Mintz, Andy (potroast00) Larson and Eric (basebaldy) Baldwin, a former Bodog champion.
Andy (BKiCe) Seth, an online regular, took seventh in the event, earning $7,000. The final two players were Gabriel Nassif, aka yellowhat, and irishgirl08. Nassif has amassed nearly $100,000 in online tournaments since 2005 but couldn't defeat irishgirl08 heads-up. The lass took the title and all of the chips.
