We had 624 poker players last night who took time away from caroling to play in last night's $200,000 Guaranteed tournament. And it was Kip88 who played the Grinch and took down first place and the $47,000 first prize.

Here's the rest of the final table and how they place:
  • 2nd--              bryguy136                       $29,500
  • 3rd--               xizent                             $19,500
  • 4th--               caligurl22                        $13,500
  • 5th--               UNIKORN                        $11,000
  • 6th--               lanaba                             $9,000
  • 7th--               supameng                       $7,000
  • 8th--               creekhouse                     $5,000
  • 9th--               olegus                            $3,500
  • 10th--             tmay_420                       $1,700
Several of the Team UltimateBet pros who had a bounty on their heads did not go gently into that good night. Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon finished in 60th place, and Devin "TranquilChaos" Porter ended up 66th, with both players making the money. Shawn Rice was knocked out in 241st place, Jim "KrazyKanuck" Worth went out 458th, and Gary "debo34" DeBernardi was unfortunately able to get back to the party early on as he was knocked out in 603rd place.
