The fourth day of the $1 million guaranteed PokerNews Online Championship at 888poker saw a trio of champions crowned in the eagerly anticipated Deep Stack events.

Many online poker tournament players prefer Deep Stack events because the plentiful starting stacks and slower blind structure naturally allows the cream to rise to the top. The United Kingdom’s “MikeyW94” is the $109 buy-in’s cream, so to speak.

The $109 buy-in, $12,000 guaranteed Deep Stack drew in 129 entrants, ensuring the guarantee was surpassed by $2,900. Each of the nine 888poker players who reached the final table doubled their initial investment, but with first place a mere $1 less than $3,000, none of them wanted to take home the smaller prize.

Unfortunately, the nature of poker tournaments means someone has to bust first from a final table, and “Nomills” of Sweden was that player; the Swede collected $212 for their ninth-place finish.

“ingeruRO14” of Romania fell in eighth for $303, 888poker regular “WalnutPix” banked $407 after busting in seventh before “Paradigm21” of the UK saw their deep run end in a sixth-place finish worth $561.

Brazilian “vireiadulto7” crashed by the wayside in fifth for $779, which was the last three-figure prize awarded in this event. Estonia’s “IKustov” got their hands on $1,108 after being eliminated in fourth, with “_WOLVES_” busting in third for $1,548, and sending this event into the heads-up stage.

“MikeyW94” and Danish grinder “fatjoint4” butted heads in the one-on-one battle of this event before something finally give. “fatjoint41” fell at the final hurdle and collected a $2,147 consolation prize, leaving the champion to pad their 888poker bankroll with the $2,999 top prize, plus the title of champion.

Germany’s “smoky011” Smokes the Opposition in the $8.80 Deep Stack Mini

Germany’s “smoky011” clinched the title of $8.80 Deep Stack Mni champion and $927 of the $5,984 prize pool. A field of 748 entrants created a $5,984 prize pool, and “smoky011” raked in the lion’s share.

The impressive turnout meant all but one of the nine finalists won three-figure prizes, with the top three finishers’ payouts equalling more than 50 buy-ins, which gives them plenty of ammunition for the rest of the PokerNews Online Championship.

Those top three finishers hailed from Germany, as we already know, Argentina and Brazil. The trio became embroiled in a battle between Europe and South America.

Brazil’s “niti569” was the first of that trio to find themselves unarmed, their lack of chips resulting in a third-place finish worth $496.

Nobody would have batted an eyelid if the heads-up duo struck a deal because the $252 difference in prizes was quite substantial for an $8.80 buy-in event. However, there was no deal, which meant “smoky011” scooped $927 when they came out on top, resigning Argentina’s “Davikas” to console themselves with a $675 runner-up payment.

“Motik_13” Get the Job Done in the Deep Stack Mid Event

Turkmenistan is not the first country that springs to mind when you think of online poker, but “Motik_13” put their country onto the poker map on February 28 after taking down the $33 buy-in Deep Stack. A field of 428 built a $12,840 prize pool, significantly more than the advertised $10,000 guarantee.

Fourth-place finisher “chrs108” won $901, narrowly missing out on a four-figure prize. The top three finishers each reeled in $1,233 or more; that is the sum Brazil’s “suferweed” received after falling in third.

“Motik_13” defeated “FloatingLand” heads-up to become a PokerNews Online Championship champion, an accolade that came with $2,348 reasons to be happy. “FloatingLand” may have missed out on the glory of victory, but they now have an additional $1,702 in their 888poker account.
