GGPoker's online poker room is running GGMillion$ Week from yesterday, August 11, until August 19, guaranteeing a total of up to $20 million in 57 tournaments. Buy-ins range from $525 to $25,500.
So yesterday was the first day of this series and right off the bat we have some beautiful results. Samuel Mullur took care of the most interesting one, taking home giant sums from no less than three tournaments of this series. He took home the highest amount for finishing second in the $25,500 buy-in, $250,000 guarantee event. The tournament was played by 16 players, bringing the prizepool to $400,000. Of that amount, $227,251 awaited the winner, and it went to the Ukrainian player who defeated Mullura in the final heads-up. Samuel earned $114,778.
In the second tournament, he already took straight first place and it was in the $5,250 Bounty Hunters Super High Roller with 74 entries and a prizepool of $370,000. Samuel took home $110,053 for the win.
He took home the third place prize in the Sunday Prime Time with a buy-in of $5,250, 38 entries and a prizepool of $190,000. Samuel cashed for $31,881 here, taking his total from the three tournaments to a handsome $256,713.
Someone else is claiming
Samuel wasn't the only German-speaking player to achieve handsome rewards at GGMillion$ Week. An Austrian player with the nickname "B Binder" also claimed the floor, finishing second in the $525 Bounty Hunters HR Main Event with 3,440 entries and a prizepool of $1,720,000. The second place prize, along with the bounty, was worth $115,955. Binder was also kept company at the final table by German player "Gorilla2010", who finished ninth with a bounty of $21,725.
Finally, we have a more recent WSOP Main Event final day entrant, Niklas Astedt, who was the winner of the $2,100 Super Heater HR (Bounty Turbo) with 89 entries and a prizepool of $200,000. Niklas took home $46,049 for first place.
