The inaugural End Boss Poker Series at BetMGM Poker Michigan came to a close on Sunday.
The recently-added brand ambassador Darren “End Boss” Elias lent his name to a seven-tournament series, which boasted a total guarantee of $225,000. Ultimately, the series successfully attracted a substantial number of Michigan poker players, resulting in a remarkable overall prize pool nearing a quarter-million dollars.
Most BetMGM events meet guarantees, Main Event awards $113K
From November 23rd to 28th, a series of games took place with buy-ins varying from $215 to a $1,060 for the Main Event. By the end, participants accumulated a grand total of $248,200 in winnings across the seven events.
Out of all the tournaments in the series, five managed to generate prize pools that slightly surpassed their guarantees due to a sufficient number of participants. On the other hand, the remaining two tournaments experienced a small shortfall. Overall, the series accumulated a total of 548 entries, which includes re-entries.
Player “georgejanssen” emerged victorious in two events, namely the $320 Progressive KO Bounty (No. 4) and the $215 Second Chance (No. 7), accumulating a remarkable sum of approximately $5,700 for each triumph.
In the meantime, “C0rgasm231” emerged victorious in the Main Event, securing the biggest portion of the tournament’s record-breaking $113,000 prize pool. Additionally, “georgejanssen” had a remarkable performance in the Main Event, narrowly missing the final table and ultimately finishing in ninth place out of 113 participants.
After negotiating a heads-up deal with “Simsalabim,” “C0rgasm231” emerged victorious, earning slightly over $23,000.
“C0rgasm231” was crowned the “End Boss” of Michigan after emerging victorious in the Main Event. As an added bonus, the player also secured a complimentary entry into the highly-anticipated New Year Knockout PKO tournament, taking place at BetMGM Poker MI.

During the same dates, the End Boss Poker Series was also organized by the partypoker US network in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
While BetMGM Poker MI stands as the sole functioning partypoker US network site in Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey boast in-state networks comprising several sites.
In New Jersey, the network consists of three sites: partypoker NJ, Borgata Poker NJ, and BetMGM Poker NJ. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, BetMGM Poker PA and Borgata Poker PA operate on a single network and share players.
Originally, the seven End Boss events in New Jersey guaranteed a total of $315,000. However, one tournament was modified, reducing the total to $305,000 in guarantees. In the end, the series rewarded New Jersey players with nearly $358,000 in winnings. Notably, the Main Event with a $1,060 entry fee contributed $179,000 to the prize pool.
The guarantees in Pennsylvania were similar to those in Michigan, amounting to $230,000. Throughout the series, five out of the seven events had overlays, but players from Pennsylvania still managed to win slightly more than $250,000, surpassing BetMGM Poker MI’s total. In the Main Event of Pennsylvania, a prize of $123,000 was awarded.
