Powerfest #17-HR: $200K Gtd PKO 8-Max

  • Buy-in: $1,050
  • Entrants: 217
  • Prize pool: $221,340

The $1,050 Powerfest #17-HR: $200K Gtd PKO 8-Max saw a $221,340 prize pool created and everyone at the eight-handed final table winning more than $8,000 when bounties were taking into consideration.

“Grizzly23” of Austria busted in eighth-place for a combined prize of $9,151 thanks in part to accumulating an impressive $6,435 worth of bounties. Only the eventual champion and runner-up managed to get their hands on more bounty payments.

High stakes tournament regulars “Alien_Army” and “JimyTransaction” busted in fifth-place and fourth-place respectively, hauling in prizes of $8,121 and $14,526. Shortly after fourth-place was decided, Team partypoker’s Bertrand “ElkY_” Grospellier ran out of steam and busted in third-place for a total prize weighing in at $18,725.

ElkY’s exit left “SirStanleyRoyce” and MoNddLeR2 to battle it out for the title and a substantial bounty. SirStanleyRoyce couldn’t get the job done and fell in second-place for $24,433, leaving MoNddLeR to collect $43,394.

Powerfest #17-M: $75K Gtd PKO 8-Max

  • Buy-in: $55
  • Entrants: 1,905
  • Prize pool: $100,012

“pioMYASS” won $12,573 when they were crowned Powerfest #17-M: $75K Gtd PKO 8-Max champion despite the event only costing $55 to enter. A 1,905-strong field was out lasted by the Malta-based player, who got their hands on the lion’s share of the guarantee-busting $100,012 prize pool.

With the large bounties added to each players’ winnings, the eight finalists banked more than $1,300 apiece for their $55 buy-in. “Barcelona4Ever” walked away with a combined prize worth $1,384 for their eighth-place finish and the prizes on offer escalated quickly from that point on.

By the time “jaqui94xox” busted in fourth-place, the main prize pool was awarding $2,719 which the Mexican added $1,510 from the bounty prize pool to. Third-place and a total of $4,873 went to “fulsi” of Bulgaria, setting up a heads-up battle between the aforementioned pioMYASS and “Sayonarabyeee” of Slovenia.

It was a battle that the Slovenian fell short of winning, although they did collect $6,277 from the main prize pool and $2,353 worth of bounties to help console themselves.
