Things went fast in Event #99.
The $3.30 Turbo got 21,114 entrants and it took them only five hours to get right down to the overall nine players. From there, it only took CloverZone 23 minutes to take the title of MicroMillions champion and $6,347.49.
While CloverZone took the most important share of the prize pool, a complete of 2,700 players cashed for at least $6.33.
From then on, players continued to drop mercilessly until the general table, where the typical stack was slightly below 12 big blinds.

The Q♥6♦T♣T♠4♦ board was without any aces, kings or combination of cards that will give the quick stack the lead and Evil Luci finished 9th, earning $380.05.

Back on top
Then CloverZone struck back. First, he shared an elimination.

CloverZone was still a couple of million in need of the lead, but that modified just two hands later.
Blinds were as much as 700K/1.4M with a 175K ante and it5tricky moved all-n for 15.47 million from the small blind. CloverZone called with K♥T♥ and was up against it5tick's A♥5♥.
CloverZone hit a K♣ at the flop and it5tricky was out in 7th, a finish worth $950.13. CloverZone then again took a big lead with 41.68 million.
Sitting back
CloverZone's lead stayed constant while the smaller stacks stepped over one another to maintain from drowning within the massive blinds.
First Narcizego raised to 5.6 million from the small blind and vp1985 called all-in for 3.30 million. vp1985 was in a coarse spot after showing 7♥4♣ to Narcizego's K♠K♥.
The board brought no help for vp1985 and the Ukranian player earned $1,583.55 for finishing 6th.
Then Narcizego bumped into a large pair.
Narcizego moved all-in for 8.85 million from the small blind and Glen High called from the large.
Narcizego: 4♦4♠Glen High: A♦A♣
The board brought no fours for Narcizego and he was eliminated in 5th for $2,216.97.

Three to one

All these chips then amassed under one giant stack in two key hands.
Blinds were as much as 1M/2M with a 250K ante and VoodooGeek moved all-in for 25.35 million from the small blind. Glen High just had 20.81 million and called all-in from the big.
VoodooGeek showed K♥8♥ while Glen High tabled A♥A♣.
It was a brutal crack for the aces because the flop came A♠K♠J♠ to present Glen High a collection. Then the turn brought a K♦ and Glen High hit a whole house.
The only card that VoodooGeek had to avoid was a K♣.
River: K♣
VoodooGeek hit quads and Glen High was eliminated with aces filled with kings. Glen High won $3,800.52 as a consolation prize for finishing 3rd and the tournament went heads-up.
