When it involves Progressive Super Knockout Events, few players have done quite in addition to "etxnl01." For instance, on March 31 he took down the $1,050 Thursday Thrill Progressive Super-Knockout for $61,100, and previous to that, on February 13, he won the $27 Saturday Eliminator Progressive Super-Knockout for $8,130.86.

In Monday's SCOOP-02-H: $2,100 NL Hold'em [Progressive Super Knockout] finale, he again proved his mettle. In that event, all players started with a $1,000 bounty on their heads, but every time a player was eliminated, 50% in their bounty on the time was awarded to the player who eliminated them, while the opposite 50% was added to that player's bounty. Within the end, etxnl01 walked away with $53,134.75 in bounties and a $155,057.50 prize on top of that.

Others who cashed within the event were Ami "UhhMee" Barer (93rd - $4,000 in bounties & $1,943.50 prize), Elior "Crazy Elior" Sion (71st - $1,000 in bounties & $2,450.50 prize), Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz (44th - $3,937.50 in bounties & $3,211 prize), Ivan "Negriin" Luca (18th - $13,890.62 in bounties & $5,915 prize), and "WRUUUUM" (13th - $12,062.50 in bounties & $7,605 prize).

A couple hands later, etxnl01 raised to 160,000 from the cutoff with the J♣3♣, Rettenmaier called off his remaining 80,000 from the button, and both players within the blinds came along, though both folded to a raffle of 300,000 from etxnl01 at the T♥6♣A♣ flop.

Rettenmaier was ahead with the A♦8♥, and he hung on the 5♥ turn. Unfortunately for him, the 8♣ spiked at the turn to provide etxnl01 a winning flush. Rettenmaier took his leave in fifth place for $23,230.46 in bounties and a $43,940 prize.

girafganger7 Loses Big Flip to Fall in Third

It was a large flip, but not after the flop came down 6♦A♣5♥ to provide etxnl01 a couple of aces. Neither the Q♠ turn nor 2♠ river helped girafganger7, and he needed to accept third place, which came with $23,664.06 in bounties and a $83,655 prize.

Heads-Up Play Lasts Just Four Hands

etxnl01 began heads-up play with 13,355,810 in chips to Jonas "donut604" Mackoff's 3,544,190, and it took just four hands for him to seal the deal.
