Virtual Rail: Sunday Million slip; Redbet closure; probirs victory

Three stories from the virtual rail including another win for Andras Nemeth, an overlay in the Sunday Million, and an obituary for Redbet Poker.

Did you know that an asteroid the size of Big Ben has just whizzed past Earth at 16,000 mph? NASA named it ‘Asteroid 2019 LA’, and perhaps that should be Andras Nemeth‘s new partypoker pseudonym when it changes on June 17, because he’s playing like an asteroid rushing through space at 16,000 mph.

Playing under his Pocketfives nickname ‘probirs’, the Hungarian star defeated 248-entrants in the $530 buy-in, $100,000 Guaranteed Sunday 500 on PokerStars earning $23,843, and also finished 3/30 in the $5,000 buy-in, $100,000 Guaranteed Sunday Blade for $24,197 in another likely profitable Sunday.

The win sends his gross online profit howling to the $12,791,773 mark, and Nemeth sits #2 in the PocketFives World Rankings, behind the siren, Niklas “lena900” Åstedt.
