If there's a Phil Ivey of daily fantasy baseball, his name is Peter Jennings. So it wasn't a surprise to anyone that the man they call "CSURAM88" took down the biggest tournament in the history of the industry on Tuesday night.
Jennings, who happens to be a member of the DraftKings Pro Team, bested a field of 50 entries to claim the $1,000,000 top prize at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. The live final included some of the brightest minds in fantasy sports, but Jennings dominated the night behind the Boston Red Sox lineup and solid pitching from starters Alex Wood and Johnny Cueto.
Jennings was near the top of the leaderboard right from the get-go thanks to a first-inning home run from Dustin Pedroia, and he later added homers from Mike Napoli, Allen Craig and Jose Bautista to take a sizable lead into the home stretch. The celebrations began even before the final pitch of the night was thrown.
Finishing second behind Jennings was another daily fantasy superstar by the name of Jay "DirtyGirl15" Raynor. Both Jennings and Raynor secured three entries into this championship event and used the extra ammunition to their advantage. One of only two Canadians in the field and the former roommate of poker pro Mike "Timex" McDonald, Raynor collected $350,000 for his efforts.
Rounding out the top five and pocketing six-figure scores were "markgenorex," Chris "gcnmoo" Moore and Ray "rayofhope" Coburn. Here's a look at the top 10 results along with Jennings' winning lineup:
