In yet another gripping finale that's become customary for the Pokerkaki League, 'BB8BB' saved the best for last, as he left it to the last day of competition to narrowly edge out unlucky forum favourite 'dadzzky' for top spot in Series 3 of the PKL. BB8BB becomes the first Malaysian winner of the Pokerkaki League, and he walks away with a snazzy Sunday Million ticket, as well as a seat in the PKL Grand Prize Freeroll!

Next weekend, on 8 April 2012, at 10pm (GMT+8), 21 players (owing to a 2-way tie for 20th spot) will play-off in a freeroll, where they will compete for the very last GPF seat.
