ECOOP II halfway done with millions still to come

By Sarah Polson

The European Championship of Online Poker II burst out of the gates May 23 and is off to a galloping start as all of the first five events have topped their guaranteed prize pools.

The first event was a $200+$15 No-Limit Hold'em tourney which drew in 1,291 players to boost the guaranteed $250,000 prize pool to $258,200.

With the cash spread to 150 players in the tournament, it was fuddebuf who walked away with the biggest piece. He pocketed more than $50,000 for the win.

The final-table results of the event were:

Place	Name	Prize

9th	jdm79	$3,614.80

Pot-Limit Omaha players got their chance on the second night of the tournament series. The $100+$9 event with its $100,000 guarantee pulled in 576 players. The result was a $108,200 prize pool with a $24,886 top prize that went to goodiepig.

The final-table results were:

Event 3 of the ECOOP II was another No-Limit Hold'em tournament, this time with a $300+$20 buy-in and a $500,000 guarantee. The 1,721 people who showed up to play, however, helped make that guarantee turn into a $516,300 prize pool.

The biggest beneficiary of that was SNakB1te1, who won the tournament to pocket more than $100,000.

The final-table results were:

Place	Name	Prize
1st	SNakeB1te1	$103,260
2nd	IOUlot	$53,695.19

7th	killintime99	$15,489
8th	Kallepigen	$10,326
9th	Moorfish1	$6,711.90

Another Pot-Limit Omaha bonanza was up for Event 4, giving poker players a shot at a $150,000 guaranteed prize pool for just a $100+$9 buy-in with rebuys. With 830 players taking advantage, the prize pool ended up at $165,000 and doyouknowhoiam walked away with a $36,300 win.

The final-table results were:

1st	doyouknowwhoiam	$36,300

7th	mingo49	$4,950
8th	nagyy8	$3,300
9th	SuperBrendl	$2,310

The event that topped its guaranteed prize pool by the biggest amount so far was the latest event, the $750+$50 No-Limit Hold'em event on Tuesday.

More than 500 players put up the buy-in and the $300,000 guarantee turned into a $378,750 prize pool for participants. That worked out to an $87,112.50 win for first-place finisher adametess.

The final-table results were:

Place	Name	Prize
1st	adametess	$87,112.50
2nd	HeatOfTheNight	$51,131.25

Titan Poker's ECOOP II continues today with a $200+$15 No-Limit Hold'em six-max tournament. It has a $200,000 guarantee. Plus there are more events with hundreds of thousands of dollars in guarantees as the series makes its way to the main event taking place June 1.

The main event, a No-Limit Hold'em tournament, will have a $1,000+$60 buy-in and feature a $1.5 million guaranteed prize pool for players.

Titan Poker players still have plenty of time to ante up and play in the ECOOP, or they can also win their seats in the remaining events through daily online qualifying tournaments for as little as $2+20¢.
