MANSION’s $100K A DAY GUARANTEED TOURNAMENT – RECENT RESULTS
The $100K A Day Tournament on Thursday February 15th saw 526 players participate for a share of the $100,000 prize pool, with Grazza emerging in top spot and $24,000 richer after five hours and 48 minutes of Poker play.

There were 23 hands of heads up play, with chip leader Grazza on 965,576 chips compared to Oraora’s 349,424.

Until the final hand, both players proceeded with caution, with the previous 13 hands either being folded pre flop, or the small blind calling and the big blind checking with no further money in the pot.

Grazza entered the final hand with a handy lead of 1,224,952 compared to 90,048. The blinds were 16,000/32,000 with a 1,600 ante

Grazza raised to 100,000 with Jd Th. ‘Oraora’, on the big blind, called ALL IN with 5d 3h.

The flop came 6c Qc 9h, the turn was Tc and the river 7h, giving ‘Grazza’ a pair of 10’s and 1st place.

“I was elated. It was a fantastic moment to finally clinch victory having fought through a field of 500-plus. In the past few days I have been coming close with a couple of top 20 finishes and a few more finishes in the money,” said Grazza.

“My wife and I have been planning a holiday recently and the win is going to help make it a dream trip,” added Grazza.
