Moldova’s “Susanin_EV” was the biggest winner on Monster Series Day 5 courtesy of being crowned the champion of the Monster Series #20-H: $75K Gtd 8-Max PKO event.

A field of 1,629 players descended on partypoker in an attempt to get their hands on a slice of the $85,522 prize pool. The Moldovan was the last player standing and was rewarded handsomely as a result. First place was worth $5,397, a sum boosted by $6,066 worth of bounty payments

The runner-up did well for themselves too. Belgium’s “getmechips” claimed the $5,388 runner-up prize and added $2,073 worth of bounties to that score having been busy eliminating opponents on their way to a second-place finish.

Shout out to the player who finished sixth, “You_Know_Who_” from Brazil who amassed $1,097 worth of scalps in addition to collecting $1,162 in prize money. Only the top two finishers won more from the bounty prize pool.

Monster Series #19-H: $50K Gtd 8-Max Deepstack was another huge event on Monster Series Day 5 thanks to 1,295 players exchanging $55 for a chance of becoming a poker champion.

The very nature of tournament poker means there can only ever be one champion and that was the United Kingdom’s “BigBlackBooty” who emerged victorious to get their hands on a juicy $10,203 prize, the only player in the event to secure a five-figure score.

BigBlackBooty defeated Lithuania’s “Equanimity_” one-on-one to lock up the title and the lion’s share of the $64,750 prize pool. Second place in this event was worth a still more than respectable $8,620, with everyone but eighth-place finisher “rusplayer66” of Russia banking four-figures for their initial investment.
