73 players were not enough though to reach the huge $400K guarantee and there was a small overlay.

Good for the finalists though as there was big money up top.

Big names, who made the money were bencb789, “WhatifGod”, Pedro “pvigar” Garagnani and his fellow countryman Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski.

The latter was once again unstoppable and pushed all the way to victory after defeating Argentinian high stakes regular Ivan “Negrin” Luca heads-up for the title.

BluffCatch wins the 888poker Sunday Big Shot 525

The Sunday Big Shot 525 is one of the highlights of the Sunday Grind at 888poker and it gets more and more popular.

That’s why 888 now even increased the guaranteed prize pool to $40,000.

78 entries just missed to covering the guarantee, so there was a tiny overlay.

The heads-up was an Eastern European affaire with “Irina0701” from Romania taking on “BluffCatch” from Belarus.

The latter had the better end for himself and secured the large $10,900 top prize together with the prestigious trophy.
