Rodrigo Seji Sirichuk Wins Two GG Online Championship Events
The $25,500 Sunday Million SHR is the most expensive weekly online tournament. This time it attracted an elite 45-player field that created a $1,125,000 prize pool with $250,839.28 up top.
Only five places were paid and poker superstars Michael Addamo, Wiktor “limitless” Malinowski and Artur Martirosian all busted shorty before the money.
Elio Fox was the first player that cashed for a whopping $116,635. Then everything went really fast and to the spectators surprise the last four players left made a 4-way deal! The most likely reason for the deal is that there were not less than three Brazilians under the final four.
The deal secured non less than online crusher Samuel “€urop€an” Vousden the biggest payday worth a staggering $309,745 and so “€urop€an” continues his current sunrun at GGNetwork.
The trophy and prestigious title did go to Brazil in form of Rodrigo Seji Sirichuk aka “Sejistar1” on PokerStars, who was rewarded with a massive $250,839.28 score.
And sejistar was even shining more bright later that evening after he entered the GG Online Championship Event 52-H: a $3,150 Blade Bounty King,
49 entries generated a $147,000 prize pool and $49,666 was up top. Once again reaching the final table was not equivalent with making the money, as only six places were paid.
German online legend Benjamin “bencb789” Rolle was the last player, who had to leave the tournament empty-handed.
Still there were five top online players under the last six with Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski, Christian “WATnlos” Rudolph, five-time Super MILLION$ winner Artur Martirosian, the Number 1 online player in the world Niklas “Lena900” Astedt and Rodrigo Seji Sirichuk.
