Bodog Poker Blogger Tournaments Series 

Tournament Series Final Table June 3rd 2008

posted on 04 Jun 2008 by The Bodog Poker Blogger.

45 players turned out to fight for a spot in the Bodog Blogger Tournament of Champions.

Play was tight early into the night and then finally loosened up after the 1st break. Several players straddled the bubble of the top 18 players in this series while attempting to also collect a bounty of T$270 placed on the head of the blogger tournament host, $mokkee.

Final Table Players and Payouts

1. $mokkee - $180.00 + T$109
2. wilwonka - $108.00 + T$109
3. MiamiDon - $72.00 + T$109
4. Bayne_S - $54.00 + T$109
5. garycarson - $36.00 + T$109

With the bounty on his head, $mokkee fought his way through to the final table sitting on nice stack. He made it into the top 5 payouts and doubled up through Bayne_S, who tried to crack $mokkee's QQ with a 6-9 off suit.

It then became a 3-handed game, where MiamiDon took a shot at knocking $mokkee out with a K9 sOOted. $mokkee then open shoved every hand into wilwonka.

wilwonka finally called with KJo, but $mokkee's monster Q5 sOOted hit the river and a well deserved victory went to our tournament series host who now sits comfortably in 2nd place on the tournament leaderboard.

Not only does $mokkee take home this week's first place winnings, but the T$270 bounty as well! GG $mokkee!
