In our second largest tourney “Baby Whale” we saw an international final table with some high-level poker and strong aggressive play.
One to notice is “romeopro33” who made yet another final table after reaching HU last week in the Mega-Deep.
Getting to the top 3, we saw some fearless poker with the chip-leader identity constantly changing.
“MisterN411” was the one to finish as top dog, claiming a prize just shy of $20,000!
Sunday Crocodile
410 players took part in this mid-high stakes tourney for a shot at winning BIG.

In yesterday’s Mini Mega-Deep, we saw UK’s “benkins84” strike a deal with Romania’s “tofanlucian”.
Each of the top 2 left with roughly $5,500 after an investment of just $22!
Sunday Breeze + Deepstack Swordfish + Mini Turbo Mega-Deep
The 3 “low buy-ins” tourneys, well surpassed their guarantees, offering players the chance to win significant amounts.
1,075 players entered the Swordfish, creating an over $5,300 1st place prize for a $30 investment!
Brazil’s “lpmassia” took it down.
Looking at the other 2 tourneys, we saw Brazil’s “luish64” taking 2! runner ups, one with a deal!
The Brazilian player is no doubt extremely satisfied about turning a $77 investment into $7,636!
Germany’s “O.G.Pageka” was ahead of the Brazilian in the Breeze and Poland’s “ubinhhho” got the best of the Brazilian in the Mini turbo.
Saturday’s Octopus – taken down by 888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche
Germany’s 3-times bracelet winner took the Octopus down good for $7,742!
