SetTrippin247 Takes Title at UltimateBet on October 19, 2008
Ultimate Bet had to dole out more money than the second place finisher got paid to meet the $200,000 Guarantee on Sunday October 19, 2008. The site that's home to Tiffany Michelle, the recent Road 2 Recovery Charity Tournament winner, paid $31,400 to satisfy the prize pool total which was good news for the 843 players who entered the tourney.
Finishing in sixth position was Christian “Deckzor” Fokenberg. Fokenberg previously took the 7th slot in this event on June 29th, 2008. The final two players were gregoir and SetTrippin247. gregoir has earned about $400,000 in online tournaments alone and has a great deal of experience at final tables. However, he was no match for SetTrippin247.
Despite a previous finish in third place (the same date in which Deckzor finished 7th), SetTrippin247 turned up the juice and kicked it into high gear. He walked away with the $45,000 and the title.
Here are the final results:
1) SetTrippin247 — $45,000 2) gregoir — $27,000 3) ISSUR4CER — $18,500 4) blu plastic — $13,000 5) Shadow5_ — $11,000 6) Deckzor — $9,000 7) Ricky B — $7,000 8) ryz3 — $5,000 9) odiggitydog — $3,500 10) FILEN — $2,000
