LEOCOP IV Event #5 results

The Beat the Team tournament saw the largest number of players log on for a LEOCOP IV event so far. Four hundred and ninety nine players lined up to play against Ladbrokes finest – our sponsored pros. Nightmare calls and hellish raises were the order of the day as players battled to secure the incremental bounties which ranged from $200 – $3000 and the bragging rights of knocking out some big names on the worldwide poker circuit.

First to claim the $200 scalp of sponsored pro Jon skalie Kalmar, a WSOP final tablist, was Push73 and that was quickly followed by princessaces, the winner of yesterday’s Daddy I tournament, who did not make it to the final table but won Roy ROYTHEBOY Brindley’s bounty of $300.

The final table saw laddog leave first with $335.50 and his exit was shortly followed by 1875 who ran into pocket kings. Just a few hands later Plym legend left the table after his A-J lost to A-K. Seventh place went to PYTUPEPOE when he lost to a nut flush and 6th place money of $1,207 went to Razork 8 after his pocket nines did not hold up against Q-10. Acid, who won sponsored player Collin Lloyd’s $3000 bounty, the last of the night, finished fifth to win $1,476 after his J-10 lost to A-K. Acid was swiftly followed by another bounty winner brimolko who left the tournament in 4th.

“The Beat the team event has been the most heavily subscribed of the festival so far, but we knew it would be popular. We all had a laugh and some good banter on the tables and the event epitomised what Ladbrokes poker.com is about online poker and community”, said Edward Ihre, MD of Ladbrokes Poker.

When play got down to the final three the action tightened up, lurvelegg eventually leaving the tournament in third place winning $2,818. Heads-up play commenced after seven hours and forty five minutes. Play loosened up as both GreenMan1 from Basingstoke and eliman vied for first place. This honour was eventually bestowed on eliman from Sosnovyi Bor, Russia who wins $6,710.

Edward Ihre continued: “This tournament is brilliant value and great fun. It has to be said that the surprise of the night was both dart players Colin Lloyd (jaws180) and PDC World Champion John Part outlasting the majority of the pros.”
