The Global Poker Monsterstack Series IV has come to an end with some big winners on the social poker site.
None of them, however, can top the prize won by “PaThePokerStars,” champion of the Sweeps Coin (SC) Main Event. Both SC and Gold Coin (GC) players competed in juicy online poker tournaments from January 6-19, winning GC, SC, and some pretty sweet Global Poker merchandise.
The series featured 90 total events — 45 GC and 45 SC — including a series-ending Monsterstack Invitational. Each tournament included a Low, Medium, and High version.

Series Highlights
The Monsterstack Series wasn’t all about the Main Event. There were numerous other tournaments that attracted large fields and sizeable prize pools. Right off the bat on Jan. 6, the first High tournament — SC 99 — brought in 448 entrants and it was won by “ZMunda” for SC 9,425. “GuiSBorges” conquered the Gold Coin version of the event for GC 5,100,000, outlasting a field of 212 entrants.
The series came to a conclusion with an invitational freeroll tournament for those who earned their way in. “Roloooo” was the champion of the Sweeps Coin High event, and that awarded SC 1,743 to its champion in the 921-player tournament.
