“irishgirl08” Reigns At UltimateBet $200k GTD Poker Tournament

Sunday is by far the biggest day for online pocker fans across all major online poker rooms; PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and of course, UltimateBetPoker. The UltimateBet online poker room held its largest weekly poker tournament Sunday, a $200k Guarantee, attracting a field of 873 eager participants.

Opting to post the buy-in of $200+$15, the crowd of players at UltimateBet.com’s Sunday $200k GTD cumulatively brought in $174,600 of the guaranteed $200k prize pool, resulting in an overlay that left the online poker room to fork over the remaining $25,400.

The action got underway at it wasn’t long before the field decreased by half, then another half, until finally 10 players remained. The final table was packed with action as the competitors strove to outlast them all, vying for the top prize.

One by one, the final table faded until the ousting of “widebody” brought up heads-up play between American “irishgirl08” and Frenchman “yellowhat”. Both displayed an enormous level of skill throughout the online poker tournament, but in the end, only one could prevail.

Gabriel “yellowhat” Nassif was eliminated in 2nd place, pocketing $26,000 for is extraneous efforts, as “irishgirl08” emerged victorious. 32 year old Sheila of Northbrook, Illinois – known by her UltimateBet.net friends (and foes) as “irishgirl08”, took home the largest paycheck of the day for an immaculate 1st place finish, $45,000.
