It's been a week of success for some of the biggest names on PKR as the rich just keep getting richer. Here's a quick roundup of The Daily $17k events and the APT qualifier.
APT Macau Weekly Final, 13 July
Buy-in: $325
Runners: 20
Champion: Marlon67 - $6,500 package
PKR Masters winner Marlon67 has a lot to celebrate at the moment. A birthday, a new baby and now a chance to try and take down the jewel in the APT crown in Macau! We think we can all thank our lucky stars that he's in a good mood because we wouldn't want to see him angry!
The Daily $17K, 13 July
Buy-in: $55
Runners: 329
Champion: BeverNylon - $4,523.85
BeverNylon continued an awesome run of form with his PKR Open win on the 26th June and added another big MTT first place finish to an already impressive tournament record. Out of 490 MTTs played on PKR, this Norweigan savant is converting to 42 final tables and an incredible 12 first places. Very impressive stuff!
The Daily $17K, 14 July
Buy-in: $55
Runners: 301
Champion: Pokerkate88 - $4,250
The 301 strong field played for over 5 hours to crown the biggest tournament winner of the evening and this time the Swiss cheese had plugged all of the holes in his game as he tore the star studded final table to pieces. Pokerkate88 is yet another big hitter and finished deepest of all the Team PKR players we sent to Manila. With exactly 4:1 conversion from final tables to first places (14 wins) it's not hard to see how ahead of the curve he is or why he's a pro. This win backs up his second place in The Sunday $30K ($4,860) at the end of April. We look forward to seeing more of the same over the coming months.
The Daily $17K, 15 July
Buy-in: $55
Runners: 321
Champion: SirDogsy - $4,413.85
This was a first time victory for SirDogsy, but the Leeds local is relatively new to PKR so watch this space for more of the same. One thing is for sure, a win of over $4,400 is a pretty nice way to pop your PKR cherry! Well played sir!
The Daily $17K, 16 July
Date: 16 July 2009 19:45 GMT
