The United Kingdom came ever so close to having a KO Series champion on Day 1 when two of its players found themselves in the final three of the KO Series #03-H: $300K Gtd [8-Max] event.

A field of 2,480 left a near $42,000 overlay and Austria’s “Bill Kassouf” took full advantage of the extra value by triumphing over their opponents. The Austrian walked away with $27,242 for finishing in first-place and a further $13,271 worth of bounty payments.

Players from the UK finished in second and third-place for big scores but narrowly missing out on glory. The player known as “brookert33” busted in third-place for a combined score worth $15,926 while “redcoatchris” saw their impressive run end in a second-place finish worth a welcomed $20,619.

KO Series #03-M: $200K Gtd [8-Max] was incredible value after partypoker added more than $50,000 to the prize pool to ensure the $200,000 guarantee was hit.

Anyone at the final table would have been a worth champion, especially third-place finisher “Jeffin_DF” of Brazil who played super-aggressive and netted $2,156 worth of bounties. Add this to the $8,571 they secured for third-place and you can see they turned a $33 investment into $10,727.
