rockets_ifold Victorious at Ultimate Bet $200k on Sunday April 6, 2008
On Sunday April 6, 2008 Ultimate Bet saw a decline in entrants for its $200,000 Guaranteed. Only 907 people hit the virtual felt in this tournament, down 40 plus from the week prior. The site had to pay out nearly $20,000 in overlays to meet their guarantee, providing a great value for the player.
Perhaps that was why the final table was so stacked with online poker talent. TJ Slifka, aka “whatarunaa”, Thayer “UCF Thayer” Rasmussen and basebaldy (Eric Baldwin) made it to the last table in the tournament. Of the three, Baldwin, who recently took down Event #2 at the Five Star World Poker Classic, finished the strongest, claiming fourth place and $13,100 for his efforts.
In the end, rockets_ifold emerged victorious, defeating sachdaddy in heads-up play.
Here are the final standings:
1) rockets_ifold - $45,000 2) sachdaddy - $26,500 3) tcblade - $18,000 4) basebaldy - $13,100 5) downer - $10,500 6) haleike - $8,500 7) whatarunaa - $4,500 8) bulroc - $3,400 9) UCF Thayer - $2,000
