With three titles already racked up, one player — “FlushMe2Tears” — has stood out ahead of the rest in the PokerGO Global Poker U.S. Poker Open series.
The series began Aug. 21 on the US-facing social poker site with the first two of 32 total Gold Coins (GC) and 32 Sweeps Coins (SC) events through Sept. 3. Each day during the series, Global Poker is hosting a Low and High tournament both for GC and SC players.
In our last update, we told you about “FlushMe2Tears’s” two wins on the GC side for a combined GC 8,100,000. This player did it again on Aug. 29 by taking down Event #10-H: GC 99,000 Super Bounty, a GC 25,000,000 guaranteed no-limit hold’em tournament, for GC 3,221,280.
Over on the Sweeps Coins side, “PattyC” remains the only two-time winner during the current USPO series. There were two big winners since our last update. “Poker God 107” won SC 10,046 for beating out 301 entrants in Event #9-H: SC 99 No-Limit Hold’em. “Dtfbobsaget,” who is clearly a fan of the late great comedian Bob Saget, claimed SC 12,270 for winning Event #11-H SC 99 No-Limit Hold’em, which also had 301 entrants.
Turnout during the Global Poker U.S. Poker Open series has been high. No tournament — GC or SC — has had less than 232 entrants, and most have been well above 400 players.
