WCOOP #9 REBUYS!
Rebuy tourneys bring out those with a disdain for money and a wild streak of timed aggression that sends the timid out of the tourney wondering "how the heck could he play those cards?!!?" $215 World Championship of Online Poker event number nine NLHE with rebuys would test a person's ability to stay awake and overcome those coffee shakes while facing a check-raise.
With three Swedes versus one American in the final four, the race for the Kroners or American dollars, nearly $260 thousand to be exact for the first place prize, and only over eighteen hours of play to determine a winner.
While American LUHMAN did manage to weave through two-thirds of the Swedish invasion, ruthan held a solid hand of KK versus LUHMAN's AT when the chips were sent into the middle and the best hand held up to ship Event #9's WCOOP bracelet to land of those with blonde hair (no bleaching required).
