That meant a $30,000 prize pool was up for grabs, and the top 32 finishers collected a part of it including Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich (25th - $225), “josef_shvejk” (15th - $450), “GangstaGo” (8th - $825), and “stevechenko7” (4th - $2,550).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman made a deep run at the title, but he ultimately came up two spots shy busting in third place for $3,450.

His first came in 2011 when he took down the $5,000 NLH Shootout event for $436,568, and two years later he won the 2013 WSOP Event #16: $10,000 Heads-Up Championship for $336,190.[/COLOR] [B]Sunday Challenge Ends in Heads-Up Chop[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge drew 322 runners who rebought 150 times.
