Step forward “NotEasyDonk” of Finland who showed amazing commitment by playing in 175 tournament, cashing in 46 of those and reached nine final tables. NotEasyDonk turned four of those nine final table appearances into outright victories, the most of any other partypoker player.
Another player who was a regular feature in Powerfest events was Finland’s “karma4dollar” who played in a total of 220 events, one more than Switzerland’s “evianwater1”. Karma4dollar almost came out on top in terms of number of cashes during Powerfest with 54 (the same as Russia’s Gennady “RusProffn1” Menshikov but two fewer than another Finn, Esko “DukeOfSuffolk” Virri who reached the money places in 56 events.

Sweden’s performance was particularly impressive considering only 3,242 unique Swedish players played during Powerfest compared to the 20,119 who call the United Kingdom home.
