Home / Uncategorized / Weekend Review: As easy as MARCIN123 who grabs headlines in Sunday Million

It sometimes seems that it’s when you’re looking the other way that you miss a great final table. Like when you’re sniffing around the house for the last of the chocolate eggs for example, ignoring events taking place online. Suddenly a final table appears featuring some pretty big hitters. That’s when, hands around the Easter bunny’s neck, you feel a little stupid.

Take yesterday, a weekend returning to usual service without the distractions of EPT festivals or MicroMillions. Marcin “MARCIN123” Milde scored the biggest win of the weekend, but not without defeating the likes of Cesar “Ce$ar$pa” Garcia, and former EPT winner Allan “Sifosis” Baekke. As Martin Harris wrote, it was a thriller. And to think you — with chocolate all over your face — nearly missed it.

A few hours earlier Snuup was doing something similar in the Sunday Warm-Up, earning a first place money of $84,687 after a two way deal with Einhorn 308. David Aydt has the full story.
