One hundred and seventy-two Powerfest events are now done and dusted, bringing the curtain down on a spectacular three-week festival. Before any cards were dealt, we guaranteed $7.8 million would be won, but when event 172 ended, the total prize money awarded weigh in just shy of $9.1 million, making this Powerfest the biggest yet.
A huge slice of that astronomical sum of money came courtesy of the heavyweight and high roller week, which partypoker player supported like never before. The $215 buy-in Powerfest Main Event smashed its $500,000 guarantee by $22,000, with three players chopping more than $180,000. Those three players were:
- SnipeDonkey – $62,716.68
- easylimppp – $62,545.01
- ProLuckbox – $60,749.07
Amazingly, the two $1 million events also reached and then beat their guarantees, ensuring some massive prizes were won. Like the $215 buy-in Main Event, the larger $1,050 buy-in Main Event was chopped, but this time heads-up where both players scooped more than $162,000! A total of 144 players shared a total of $1,146,000 in this tournament.

The other million dollar guaranteed tournament was for the high rollers. With a $5,200 buy-in, the event was not for the fainthearted, yet 225 entrants paid that princely sum, creating a $1,125,000 prize pool, and a $219,375.05 first place prize! The final table finished as shown:
