I don't speak Swedish, but I FEEL "fzmas" is loosely translated as "terminator." With seven players remaining in MicroMillions Event #79 Pot-limit Courchevel, fzmas took out all six opponents including the overall three players in just four hands. That's right, three players liquidated in precisely four hands. Courchevel must come easy to fzmas, who encountered little or no resistance en path to a slightly easy victory.

MicroMillions 6 Event #70 $3.30 PL Courchevel attracted 2,493 runners. These bodacious and adventurous Courchevel enthusiasts boosted the prize pool to $7,479.00. The highest 320 places paid out with $1,273.45 put aside to the eventual champion.

With nine remaining, action went hand-for-hand. Sweden's fzmas had amassed the largest stack with 3 million, while two short stacks, Sabr1988 and kuzbass 71, were seeking to keep their heads above water with under 500K apiece.

Sabr1988 became the unlucky "bubble boy" upon getting it all-in preflop with J♠ flashing because the door card. Sabr1988's A♥A♣K♣5♠5♥ lost to tapadeli's A♦K♥J♣9♥6♣ when the board ran out K♦Q♣J♥7♠2♦. tapadeli won the pot with two pair and Sabr1988 bubbled off the general table in ninth place. The overall table of eight was set.

hustler198 eliminated in 7th place

Canada's hustler198 was on life support after you have crippled and nearly obliterated in a prior hand. The hand that eventually did him within the... 7♦ was the door card, so big-stacked bully fzmas opened to a heady raise of 420,000, super-short hustler1984 called all-in 66,763, and avictoria also referred to as (fzma's original raise) from the large blind. Three-handed. On a flop of 7♦7♠3♥, fzmas fired out 97,676 and avictoria foled. Heads-up. Both players tabled their cards:
