POWERFEST Round-Up: Another Final Table For Trickett and Gross

“Crackalackin” busted in sixth-place and banked $17,637. Then it was the time of our hero Sam “SamTrickett” Trickett to run out of steam. Trickett couldn’t quite finish the job this time and had to make do with the $25,937 fifth-place prize.

Basketball fan “LakersLebron23” collected $36,312 for their fourth-place exit, with the in-form “Robbery9999” scooping $49,800 when their tournament ended in third place.
