Matt “ch0ppy” Kay claimed his second win in a PokerStars Million Dollar Guaranteed tournament this past Sunday by taking first place in the monthly PokerStars Turbo Takedown. 24,445 players began the tournament, each putting up 2,000 frequent player points to participate but after hours of play, Kay emerged with the prestigious title and $40,000. Considering the tournament buy-in was PokerStars FPPs, that’s not a bad return on investment!
The 2007 CardPlayer Online Player of the year runner-up, Kay has been one of the most consistent online tournament players for a number of years. With his victory on Sunday, “ch0ppy” adds another accomplishment to his already impressive resume of PokerStars titles. He also has victories in the $300 Wednesday “Quarter Million” for $48,318, the Sunday $200 ‘Second Chance’ for $50,525, and the biggest weekly poker tournament on the internet, the $200 Sunday Million worth $201,037. On top of these wins, he is a regular at the final table of the $100 Rebuy and has a third place finish in the $1,500 2x Chance SCOOP #4 worth $128,228.
