Touchdown4me sacks Bodog.com $100k win

Bodog.com player Touchdown4me was doing the victory dance after pairing a four on the river to win the poker room's weekly $100,000 guaranteed tournament Sunday.

Following 10 minutes of heads-up between Touchdown4me and well-known online player Joe "Dyzalot" Morneau, both players wandered into a hand pre-flop - Touchdown4me calling and Dyzalot checking - to see a Q-10-4 board.

Both men checked, but after turning a seven, Dyzalot bet $40,000; not to be outdone Touchdown4me popped it by $100,000, causing his opponent to push all-in. Touchdown4me called to reveal pocket kings to Dyzalot's 10-7.

And while the odds weren't in his favor, a four on the river brought Touchdown4me the best two pair and the $25,000 first-place finish at the tournament.

The final results are as follows:

Place Name Prize
1st Touchdown4me $25,000
2nd Joe "Dyzalot" Morneau $14,000
3rd WiCane $9,000
4th Nick "gbmantis" Niergarth $6,500

6th Ulven $4,400
7th ndrudy46 $3,400

After weeks of lackluster turnouts, the Bodog.com $100k event experience a slight boost in attendance numbers, with 839 entrants competing, up from 756 on the previous two weekends.

Nonetheless, this put Bodog.com on the hook for $16,100 to match the posted guarantee.
