Jonah ��RaiseUpBlind�� Silverstein Bags Two PokerStars Titles
Table Of Contents
Jonah ��RaiseUpBlind�� Silverstein helped himself to not one but two major tournament titles at PokerStars on June 27. Winning two events in a single day is a fantastic achievement at the best of times, but Silverstein��s double haul was made all the more impressive due to the quality of the fields he navigated through.
Victory number one came in the $1,050 Sunday Cooldown, an 8-Max PKO tournament that attracted a compact yet talented field of 72 entrants. Half of the $72,000 prize pool went on the heads of each entrant with the remaining 50% being shared among the top nine finishers.
��Oneway1988�� fell one place short of the final table, before Jonathan ��Proudflop�� Proudfoot crashed out in eighth place. Former partypoker MILLIONS Online champion Benjamin ��BC1989RF�� Chalot finished in seventh with ��Aalexxs�� of the Netherlands crashing out in sixth.

Fifth-place and a combined $6,239 went to ��Grozzorg��, which was more than the $4,077 collected by fourth-place finisher ��Darwinfish�� because the latter failed to claim a single bounty before they busted.
South Korea��s Sung Joo ��Koreanmonkey�� Hyun bowed out in third, which left Simon ��C. Darwin2�� Mattsson and Silverstein heads-up for the title. Both the heads-up player locked in $8,495 in prize money from the main prize pool but the final bounty payment was massive because the champion also scoops their own bounty.
This meant Silverstein��s prize was bolstered by $17,062 when he defeated his talented Swedish opponent, taking his total haul to $25,557. Mattsson walked away with a total prize weighing in at $9,745.

Silverstein Secures Sunday Warm-Up Victory
The $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up was another tournament that drew in a small crowd, 32 entrants to be exact. This meant only four players were paid out.
Proudfoot, the first player to bust from the final table of the $1,050 Sunday Cooldown, was the unfortunate soul who burst the bubble in this event. Proudfoot��s exit resulted in a prize of least $3,618 for the four surviving players. Ukraine��s ��Remi Lebo_10�� banked that sum.
Patrick ��pads1161�� Leonard ran out of steam in third-place, a finish worth $5,661, which left Pedro ��pvigar�� Garagnani and Silverstein heads-up in a battle for the tournament��s five-figure top prize.
Silverstein continued his hot run and sent his Brazilian opponent to the rail in second place. Garagnani padded his bankroll with $8,858, leaving Silverstein to book his second victory of the night, which came with a $13,861 financial reward.
