'chrism189' wins Fintan and Spraggy's #PlatinumAdventure, heading to the Bahamas
Chris 'chrism189' Martin is your latest Platinum Pass winner, having outlasted 77 other players last night to win the Grand Finale of Fintan and Spraggy's #PlatinumAdventure live on Twitch.
Martin, a friend of the stream, won his entry over the past few weeks in one of the weekly contests - as did every other player in the tournament. They all gathered last night to play down to a winner in a good old fashioned NLHE tournament.
When Martin found himself heads-up versus 'pop a manu g', he had a chip lead. However, this pot evened things up:
But as Spraggy tells us in this next clip, Martin grinded him back down to 100,000 in chips and all the money went in shortly after that:
For second place, 'pop a manu g' won a Sunday Million package that gives him buy-ins to the weekly tournament for the rest of the year. He reached out to Fintan on Twitter:
Unreal mate. Let us know if you get any runs going when we're grinding and we'll get on the rail. https://t.co/gqfWfFxb6H

But the biggest congratulations has to be reserved for our winner, Chris Martin, who wins a $30,000 package to the Bahamas. Come January, he'll be competing in the $25,000 buy-in PokerStars Players Championship.
I guess I'm going to the Bahamas in January for a $25k tournament. Still can't believe it. Massive thanks to @EasyWithAces @spraggy and @PokerStars @PSTwitch Absolutely insane feeling. 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸

Caio "caiohey" Hey wins Sunday Million for $165K
The Sunday Million is a long tournament, and often produces lengthy heads-up duels between the final two players.
Not last night though, as it took Brazil's Caio 'caiohey' Hey just ten minutes to defeat his fellow Brazilian (Pseudo Fruto) heads-up for the title and $165,250.47. No deal was made.
The final table saw a tough line-up which also included third-place finisher Stephen "woody1234321" Woodhead. To read how it all went down, click here.
Micro Millions Main Event moves on to Day 2

They'll all return at 7pm WET today to play it out, all hoping to win the enormous $120,951 first-place prize. All of them are currently guaranteed $166.94 for their efforts.
Uzbekistan's 'fishara.uz1' leads the pack with 4,649,293, and blinds will be 17.5K/35K (3.5K ante).
