phatchoy88 had one heck of a Sunday on June 29, 2008. First, he finished second at the Poker Stars Sunday Million, losing to GoMukYaSelf in heads-up play, taking $105,335 for his efforts. Then, he won the whole enchilada at Full Tilt Poker.
The Full Tilt $750,000 had 3,566 entrants, requiring the online home of WSOP bracelet winners Layne Flack, David Benyamine and Erick Lindgren to pay out nearly $37,000. phatchoy88 made it to the final two against online veteran Garrett “Gbecks” Beckman, a man who's earned nearly half a million playing poker on the internet thus far in his career.
This time phatchoy88 prevailed, earning more than $132,000 and taking the top two spots in the two biggest online tournaments of the weekend.
