Event #100 was a fitting tournament to finish the small buy-in, big prizepool MicroMillions series. It was a $1 No Limit Hold'em Hyper-Turbo with Rebuys which had players moving as fast as they may to maintain with the structure. Players got HALF-HOUR to mash the rebuy button as repeatedly as they may but only had three minutes before each level change.
The final MicroMillions 6 event drew 10,699 players they usually hit rebuy 41,268 times plus 6,441 add-ons. That each one added as much as a $57,210.44 prizepool sending $8,176 to the winner. The tournament quickly moved all the way down to four tables that saw an all-in and phone practically every hand, often multi-way pots.
It only took 150 minutes to play down to the general table with the common stack rarely going over 10 big blinds early. The late play stacks were hovering around 5 big blinds for the general few tables. SkyBoy111 began the overall table with the chiplead and in addition the one player with double digit big blinds.

Waniol flips out, eliminated in 9th
With such shallow stacks, it was no surprise there immediate chatter about creating a deal. AN EXTRAORDINARY occurrence for an entire final table and someone was staying silent by not clicking the deal button. Eventually they might stall not and the primary showdown turned out to be a coin flip.
Waniol open shoved from middle position with A♥7♦ and was called by Sympatiq4a within the big blind with 3♥3♦. Waniol fell behind right out the gate at the A♠J♣7♣ flop. The turn 2♠ and river Q♣ provided no miracle and Waniol was the primary out on the final table in 9th place for $400.
curedhead gets tag teamed, eliminated in 8th
There were two double ups after the primary elimination and curedhead was seeking to talk the table right into a deal. Still nothing happening and he called all-in for under the massive blind. juniao 21 limped from the button and FC BURITO checked his option before the A♠J♣8♦ flop.
The blinds checked and juniao 21 checked again at the 4♣ turn. FC BURITO then moved all-in to isolate with J♠2♥ and was prior to curedhead's 8♣5♥. The K♣ river was not a card curedhead needed and was the following player sent out in 8th place for $629.
aurike53 posts blind, eliminated in 7th
The final table actually went a couple of hands without an elimination before setting off a string of 3 knockouts in three hands. aurike53 was all the way down to half a large blind and within the big blind.
FC BURITO shoved with A♦K♣ to isolate and everybody else bailed to get the hand heads up with aurike53 A♣J♦. A very good "at nighttime" all-in hand but unfortunately dominted. FC BURITO hit top pair at the K♥Q♣8♥ flop leaving aurike53 with a gutshot draw. No Ten hit at the 2♥ turn or 6♦ river and aurike53 hit the rail in 7th place for $1,144.
juniao 21 gets Kinged, eliminated in 6th
The second hand within the string of quick knockouts started with FC BURITO again involved but opening the action for a small raise instead a shove, perhaps a tell. Nobody was biting and it was left to juniao 21 who followed aurike53 by being all-in from the large blind.
FC BURITO picked up his second straight premium starting hand with K♥K♠ and juniao 21 was forced to compliment 4♥2♣ to stick within the tournament. The T♠7♠6♣ flop had two low cards but not low enough however the 5♣ gave juniao 21 an open ended straight draw.
There was no love at the J♥ river and FC BURITO picked up his second consecutive knockout while juniao 21 was eliminated in 6th place for $1,716.
Pedrosilva88 voted out, eliminated in 5th
The next hand didn't involve FC BURITO having a monster however it was a three-way big hand. Pedrosilva88 open shoved from the cutoff for a little bit over one big blind before Sympatiq4e called from the button together with SkyBoy111 within the big blind.
Both players with chips behind checked down all of the J♦T♦8♦A♣2♣ board before all three showed down. Pedrosilva88 was all-in with K♣2♥ and a couple of ducks while Sympatiq4e showed A♠6♦ for prime pair to overcome SkyBoy111 with K♥9♣. Sympatiq4e picked up the pot while Pedrosilva88 was the third in a back-to-back-to-back knockout in 5th place for $2,288.
moka14 runs out of time, eliminated in 4th
In a wierd twist at this final table, they went greater than two minutes and not using a big hand but that was so long as the pause would last. Two players were holding lower than a large blind and moka14 was one among them.
moka14 moved all-in from the under the gun, Sympatiq4e called from the button and SkyBoy111 checked his option within the big blind. Sympatiq4e followed with a 4,000,000 bet after the Q♠T♦6♥ flop and SkyBoy111 got out of the way.
Sympatiq4e showed Q♦J♣ for prime pair while moka14 was sitting with K♠T♠ and middle pair. Sympatiq4e tripped up with the Q♥ leaving moka14 drawing dead to the 3♦ river and the following player gone, out in 4th place for $2,860.
SkyBoy111 gets tripped up, eliminated in 3rd
SkyBoy111 was the last player in peril of blinding out on short order and moved all-in from the small blind. Sympatiq4e called the shove within the big blind with the mighty 7♠4♠ up against A♦3♦. The shortie was in line for a small double until the Q♠7♦5♣ flop left him searching for an Ace or a runner-runner miracle.
The 3♠ paired him up however the river didn't improve him enough to stick alive and SkyBoy111 put heads up action in progress by getting knocked out in 3rd place for $4,259.
Sympatiq4e catches good to win Event #100
Sympatiq4e (41,364,704 in chips)
FC BURITO (42,777,296 in chips)
It took lower than 10 minutes for the overall table to get heads up and it was a good match. With both remaining players holding virtually identical stacks, they quickly decided to cut the highest two spots right down the center leaving $600 behind for the winner. The payouts were quickly adjusted and it was no surprise after this final table that both players had good hands.
Sympatiq4e opened shoved from the button with 8♥8♠ and was snap called by FC BURITO with 5♠5♦. Snowmen versus Presto for the title and the K♣J♠2♦4♣3♥ board produced no drama. FC BURITO was the overall table chipleader for many of the general table but needed to accept runner-up status and $6,792 while Sympatiq4e won the title for $7,392.02.
