I'm with a news agency and I'm looking for poker players who knew Leonard Benitez. He apparently won big time in 2015 and 2016 at Seminole Hard Rock Poker. He got into some trouble with his neighbors and we're doing a story on that. His winning streak ends on August 2016 and was wondering if his loss had anything to do with the incident.

February 9th saw dozens of massive poker tournaments take place online at 888poker, GGPoker, and PokerStars and they created some huge prizes.

Nobody won more from a single tournament that Uruguay’s Francisco “Tomatee” Benitez who triumphed in a $5,200 Bounty Builder High Roller event at PokerStars for almost $168,000.

Some 141 players turned out for the $5,200 Bounty Builder Series 8-Max High Roller meaning the $500,000 guarantee was smashed out of the ballpark by $205,000. This results in first and second-place banking $65,634 plus any bounties they accumulated along the way.

Such high buy-in tournaments attract the biggest names in poker and this was the case in this tournament.

Double SCOOP Main Event champion Gianluca “Tankanza” Speranza reached the final table but his stay was short-lived, busting in eighth-place for a combined prize worth $15,453.

Speranza was joined on the rail by Finnish star Samuel “€urop€an” Vousden who collected $29,049 thanks to winning more in bounties than eighth-place awarded.

“OYHEMAMUT”

and “twirlpro”Benitez Poker headed for the showers with $30,727 and $39,385 extra in their PokerStars accounts, before “a.urli” lost their stack and headed home with $59,169.

Any of the final three players would have made a worthy champion. “elmerixx” of Finland ran out of steam in third-place for a cool $67,407, setting up a one-on-one battle with Niklas “Lena900” Astedt and Francisco “Tomatee” Benitez.

It was Benitez who emerged victorious and he padded his bankroll with $167,606, almost $100,000 more than Astedt who scooped $71,571.

Swedish online poker legend “eisenhower1” confirmed his status as one of tournament poker’s greats by triumphing in this week’s Sunday Million.

Eisenhower1 fired two $109 bullets at this week’s massive event and it was a good job he did because it resulted in a $111,769 score. The Swede defeated Brazil’s “EricBolis” heads-up to bink the competition, leaving the Brazilian to secure the still welcomed $81,103 runner-up prize.

All but one of the finalists won five-figure prizes. Those big winners included a brace of British players. Andy “Scouse_AA” Aspinall banked $30,996 for his fifth-place exit while “seegul65” padded their bankroll with $58,586 after falling in third.

The $300,000 guaranteed GG Masters saw this week’s title head to Croatia when “G0spRaf0” came out on top of a 2,064-strong field to get their hands on $39,962. That prize could have been more substantial but the Croatia struck a deal with Argentina’s “Bullet-proof” that saw the runner-up net $36,809.

Everyone who reached the nine-handed final table won almost $3,000 each for the $150 investment.

Israel’s “kahe1” and China’s “tl9841” were the first casualties of the final table, winning $2,988 and $4,191 respectively.

“whoyesdoor?” and “Felipe Ramos” joined them in the role of spectator and won $5,880 and $8,249, the latter being the final player not to win five-figures from this tournament.

“JusstRelaxx” scooped $11,572 after falling in fifth-place before the deepest-running British player “Specknacken” fell by the wayside in fourth-place and reeled in $16,234.

Russia’s “LUCKYFISH567” exited in third for $22,775 before G0spRaf0 beat Bullet-proof heads-up to bink the tournament and claim plenty of points towards the yearly GG Masters Player of the Year leaderboard.

Phased tournaments, or multi-day, tournaments are increasing in popularity and it’s easy to see why when a $250 buy-in tournament creates a $277,840 prize pool.

Benitez Puerto Rico

The top five finishers in the Phased: High Rollers $250 at GGPoker secured prizes in excess of $12,000 and shared a cool $127,850 between them.

Estonian pro “EestiSuperStaar” locked up the lion’s share of the juicy prize pool, namely $43,907, after becoming the last player standing. The Estonian defeated China’s “Huaicheng” in a ferocious one-on-one encounter to resign the runner-up to a $31,863 addition to their bankroll.

The other trio who won a five-figure prize were Germany’s “Eye0fAfrica” ($12,177), fourth-place finisher “Y0UWILLLOSE” of the United Kingdom ($16,780), and third-place finisher “HONEYDETECTED” ($23,123) also of the UK.

Unfortunately, there are no partypoker tournaments to report on in this week’s Sunday Briefing. The site was plagued with connection problems that resulted in dozens of tournaments being cancelled, including the partypoker MILLION that, ironically, hit its $1 million guarantee for the first time since its launch several months ago.
