‘Đánh Bại Người Giỏi Nhất’ Super MILLION$ Được ‘Rumuku!us’ Giành Chiến Thắng Với $1.5 Triệu

The buy-in? $10,300? The top prize? A massive $1.5 million! The best thing on offer? Bragging rights among the high roller set in poker’s nosebleed online circuit. This week’s Super MILLION$ was a classic, as regular presenter Jeff Gross was joined by the Finnish Super MILLION$ winner from last week’s show, Joni Jouhkimainen.
When the final table came to a close, it was the Austrian player ‘Rumuku!us’ who, in the words of Jeff Gross, enjoyed “a ridiculous run” as the final stages of the Super MILLION$ caught fire in spectacular fashion.

Dominguez Áp Đảo, Uselis Thấy Hy Vọng Tan Biến Sớm

Heading into the final table of nine players, it was Juan Dominguez who held the lead and what a lead it was, as the Spanish pro, who had never won a Super MILLION$ heading into the action began with 118 big blinds, more than double any other player. Second in chips, and a long way behind was Sven Andersson, who started with just 52 big blinds.
Of the nine finalists, only one player had previously won this event, and that player, two-time winner Ravid Garbi, was third in chips. The shortest stack at the table was one of Joni Jouhkimainen’s fellow Finns, in the shape of Samuel Vousden, who began with just 18 big blinds.
The theme for this week was to ‘Beat the Best’ and one player who could certainly count himself among the best in the poker world was the Lithuanian Gediminas Uselis. Sadly for him, he was out first, cashing for $191,350 when his ace-eight lost to ‘neverodd’ from North Macedonia, holding ace-ten.
Dennys Ramos from Brazil found a big hand pre-flop and had no problem piling in 16 big blinds pre-flop with ace-queen. The problem for him was that he was covered by Sven Andersson’s ace-king and an ace on the turn made no difference to proceedings. Drawing to a three-outer queen only on the river, he bricked out and fell in eighth place for $247,619.

Dominguez Áp Đảo Bàn Chơi

North Macedonian player ‘neverodd’ was very short stacked when they shoved with king-jack offsuit and the chip leader Dominguez was more than priced in to call with ace-six of spades. The flop of J-9-5 with two spades had something for both players, with the nut flush draw out there but a jack flipping ‘neverodd’ into the lead. The turn of the ace of clubs was a disaster for the at-risk player, though, as Dominguez took the lead after pairing his ace. A nine of hearts on the river changed nothing and ‘neverodd’ bowed out scoring $320,589 for the seventh place finish.
“45 mill in the bank right there and he (Juan) is in control,” said Jeff Gross on comms and the man with over $3.5 million in live winnings and about as many Twitch followers wasn’t wrong. Dominguez had 44.7 million, maintaining his strong lead ahead of Sven Andersson (22.6m), ‘Rumuku!us’ (17.3m), Ravid Garbi (10.4m), ‘VeryMerry’ (9.9m) and the short stack Sam Vousden – who had previously been known as ‘€urop€an’ – down to just 5.2m, a little over 10 big blinds.
It was an awful bad beat that reduced the field from six to five. ‘VeryMerry’ raised in first position with pocket kings and called it off when big blind Dominguez shoved with ace-queen. The Mexico-based player only needed to hold, but that looked hard after a flop of A-6-5. No king on the turn meant two outs were all they were chasing on the river. The eight of hearts changed nothing and the Mexican player busted in sixth place for $415,221.

Cuộc Đối Đầu Ba Chiều Điên Rồ Quyết Định Danh Hiệu

With five players fighting it out for the title, there was a long period that followed where no-one left and the chip stacks evened up considerably. Swedish player Sven Andersson was down to just five bigs when he shoved from the small blind with ace-eight but Dominguez called from the big blind with jack-five, and hit a jack on the flop to send the Swede home with $537,943 in fifth place.
Play had been going on for three hours and still four players remained, but within six minutes, the whole tournament would be over. A blizzard of bust-outs began as Austrian players ‘Rumukulus’ shoved with ace-king and was called by Dominguez with ace-jack. The strongest hand won and Dominguez went from hero middle stack.
A massive three-way all-in took place when Garbi shoved with ace-jack of clubs, Vousden re-popped it with king-queen offsuit and Rumukulus called with the pocket kings as three huge hands four-handed clashed pre-flop. Around 40% of the chips in the tournament sat on the virtual felt in the middle of the table and despite a jack and a queen landing, it wasn’t enough, sending both Garbi and Vousden to the rail, setting up the heads-up battle.
With a 4:1 chip lead, Dominguez called off his stack pre-flop with jack-ten suited on the first hand, but Rumukulus was ahead with ace-five. A spectacular flop of A-9-2 with two diamonds saw both Jeff Gross and Joni Jouhkimainen on the edge of their seats. Dominguez needed to hit a diamond, but both the turn and river came clubs with the ace on 5th street only confirming it – Rumukulus had won the $1.5 million top prize and the former chip leader Dominguez had been beaten late on to come second having to settle for $1.1 million instead.
