Thursday, 10 January 2008: MANSIONPOKER.COM Player ‘Doubles Up’ in
Grand Weekend of Winning Poker
Saage secured a first place finish in the December 30 Grand Tournament to pocket $203,040 at MANSIONPOKER.COM.
Saage was well warmed up for this event, having won the Euro Grand Prix $70,000 Guaranteed tournament, earning a healthy $22,875 in prize money the day prior.
MANSIONPOKER.COM’s grandest tournament lived up to its reputation, with an incredible 847 players turning out to vie for the lion’s share of a staggering $847,000 overall prize pool in the December Grand Tournament.
It was a stellar performance from the Finn, who proved poker wise and Hold’em savvy in his first major tournament win at MANSIONPOKER.COM.
The final hand saw Saage dealt pocket rockets on the big blind Heads Up against his opponent’s A-3 off suit.
All the money went in pre flop and the board showed 7H-2S-QD-TC-6H, with Saage’s pair of Aces holding up to take the pot and first prize.
Book a seat for this month’s $500,000 Guaranteed monster prize pool at MANSIONPOKER.COM for the best shot at January’s Grand Tournament glory and a chance to walk a mile in Saage’s shoes.
