MicroMillions 6: mark_999 rallies to win Sunday Storm Special Edition and Event #97 $11 NL


It was a revolutionary type of day for mark_999. The Canadian advanced to the final table of MicroMillions 6 Event #97, yet he found himself near the back of the pack. mark_999 waited for the perfect moment to peak at the right time. Along the way, he snapped off pocket Queens with a fortuitous flop, and in another hand, his own pocket Kings held up in a decisive pot. However, mark_999 still found himself as the short stack when he took part in a money chop with three players remaining. Even though he was way behind, mark_999 was not deterred one bit. He somehow got heads-up and woke up with pocket Aces at the perfect time. He avoided an elimination and picked up a timely double up. On the very next hand, mark_999 delivered a stunning knock out blow to successfully complete a come-from-behind victory and win MicroMillions Event #97.

MicroMillions 6 Event #97 $11 NL also doubled as the Sunday Storm Special Edition, which drew in 52,491 runners. They created a prize pool worth $524,910, which was significantly more than the guaranteed prize pool of 300K. The top 6,633 places paid out with $38,110.83 set aside to the eventual champion. That is a juicy dividend on a mere $11 investment.

The Sunday Storm progressed at a rapid pace. Three hours passed before the money bubble popped. Over 90% of the field was liquidated in the first 3.5 hours.

The frantic pace slowed down during the final two tables. Action went hand-for-hand with ten to go, and flaviusff leading the way with over 50 million. Slovakia's KovTa bubbled off the final table in tenth place when A♦J♠ unfortunately lost to mark_999's K♥8♦ after mark_999 flopped two pair. With KovTa's bustout, the final table of nine was set.
