ibraindead Shows He Isn't at UltimateBet on October 12, 2008
831 entrants hit the virtual felt at Ultimate Bet on Sunday October 12, 2008. Although this was a bit of improvement attendance-wise, the online home of 11-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Phil Hellmuth, the site had to dole out nearly $34,000 to meet the $200,000 guarantee this past weekend.
Of course, as usual, what may not be good news for the online poker room is usually great news for the online poker player. UB.com had a ton of well-known rounders show up to play. For example, Chris Tipper, aka moxon1408, finished in ninth place. A former 8th place finisher in the $750k Full Tilt tournament on June 29, 2008, moxon1408 has earned nearly $112,000 so far in his online career.
Also finishing strong was Nick “FU_15000” Maimone. A regular in the top five at Full Tilt's Sunday Mulligan tournament, Maimone has more than $460,000 tournament dollars in his bank account already. This time, Maimone received $11,000 for 5th place. In addition, Chris “FeedMEMunE” Kline , a former champion of this tournament, took the fourth slot. Kline added $13,000 to his bankroll for his efforts.
However, it was ibraindead who outlasted and outwitted all the other players in this tournament. He defeated Jay “EMO_BOYFRIEND” Kinkade in heads-up play, taking control of the match, raking in the last pot and earning the additional $18k for first place.
Here are the final standings:
1) ibraindead — $45,000 2) EMO_BOYFRIEND — $27,000 3) Middlemiss08 — $18,500 4) FeedMEMunE — $13,000 5) FU_15000— $11,000 6) bigjimaz — $9,000 7) CASINOICE — $7,000 8) redbaron08 — $5,000 9) moxon1408 — $3,500 10) aconsuma — $2,000
