Senior Editor
Ukrainian superstar Andrii Novak helped himself to 0️⃣ aR$91,016 prize at
GGPoker this weekend, his reward for coming out on top of a 1,981-strong field in
theR$525 Bounty 0️⃣ Hunters HR Main Event.
Half theR$1 million prize pool went onto the
heads of all the entrants in the form of 0️⃣ a progressive bounty. The remaining 50% was
shared among the top 278 finishers.
All nine finalists locked up five-figure prizes
when 0️⃣ bounties were included. “JustaMortal” was the first of those nine finalists to
fall by the wayside. “Fangio”, Aleks Trofimov, and 0️⃣ “JoaoSymon” followed that early
casualty to the rail.
Polish sensation Dominik Panka ran out of steam in fifth-place, a
finish worthR$23,800 0️⃣ in total. Possible Breaking Bad fan “HEIZENBERG_G” was the
fourth-place finisher and bankedR$35,975.
Heads-up was set when “BocaRosa” fell in
third 0️⃣ forR$32,726. This left Novak heads-up against “Bcb20” of Turkey. Novak brushed
aside his opponent and saw a massiveR$91,016 head to 0️⃣ his GGPoker account, thanks to the
nearR$50,000 bounty payment. The runner-up walked away withR$59,415 reasons to be proud
of their 0️⃣ performance.

David Coleman Comes Out On Top in the 0️⃣ Sunday 500 High Rollers
David
Coleman
David Coleman spends most of his time crushing US-facing online poker site but
he headed to 0️⃣ Canada so he could play at GGPoker. It proved to be a fantastic decision
because he won the Sunday 500 0️⃣ High Rollers and helped himself to aR$125,383 reward.
It
was a compact field of 108 entrants but a field that contained 0️⃣ some of the biggest
names from the poker world. Plenty of those names navigated their way to the final
table, 0️⃣ including Anatoly Filatov (9th -R$14,176), Fedor Holz (8th -R$18,616), Joaquim
Andersson (7th -R$24,447), and David Yan (6th -R$32,105).
Mexico’s “TheRayGuy” (5th
0️⃣ -R$42,160) and Estonia’s “bungakat” (4th -R$55,365) were the next to fall, which left
Coleman to contest with Jason Koon and 0️⃣ Nick Petrangelo three-handed, which isn’t the
nicest spot to be in.
Coleman not only held his own but shone brightly, and 0️⃣ emerged a
worthy champion. Petrangelo crashed out in third fortR$72,706, while Koon
collectedR$95,478 for his exit in second. Coleman was 0️⃣ the man of the event and we’re
sure he’ll put theR$125,383 prize to good use.
