886 people put up their money to play in CEREUS network’s $200,000 Sunday Guarantee over at Ultimate Bet on 12.14.08. Despite a small overlay, the final table was a veritable who’s who of poker, featuring some talented online players and some who have made quite a mark in the brick and mortar world.
NeddyFlanders, who has had quite a bit of success at UB so far, managed to add to that by taking down the sixth position and earning $8,600. We bet that buys a lot of holiday pressies. Matthias Neu (tehnics_) did Flanders one better. His fifth place finish pushed him over $725 in lifetime tournament earnings.
Shannon Shorr, aka bluffforrent, took third position in the event. The popular online and live action player, who has cashed in nearly every major live tournament series since turning pro at the ripe old age of 21, added $13,000 to his bankroll.
UB’s own Shawn Rice was the runner-up in this tournament. The Texan native and winner of the 2006 Ultimate Poker Challenge claimed $27,000 after Chris “FeedMeMunE” Kline ousted him from the event.
These are the final standings:
1) FeedMEMuneE — $46,000
