OlyBet Poker delivered another week of big tournaments and standout results. This time, the biggest story was not the largest cash, but an impressive run that turned just $25 into more than $13,000.
Biggest success story of last week
Pablipoker showed just how far a $25 tournament entry can take you with an outstanding run in The Weekender Bounty Special.
It started on the 9 October in Stage 1B, where Pablipoker finished 19th among 579 players to earn a place in the $250K GTD Final Stage. From there, the run only got better.
Pablipoker battled through the 1,694-player Final Stage for 5 hours and 19 minutes, knocking out nine players and collecting their bounties on the way, ultimately coming within one place of taking down the whole tournament.
The 2nd-place finish delivered an impressive $13,499.48 payday, turning that initial $25 entry into more then 500 times the original buy-in and one of the standout stories of the week.
