Seventy-two of the 505 starts progressed from the various Day 1s, including Tomas Geleziunas, Brunno Botteon, and Joshua McCully. However, none of that trio made it to the seven-handed final table.

Ivan Denev did make it all the way to the final table, but he was the first to head for the showers, doing so with a $1,351 score for his seventh-place exit.

Erik Bystrom ($3,631) and Germany’s Carlo Heinze ($3,153) joined the ever-growing list of busted players before the eliminations of Saulo Mazarin ($4,587) and Pavlos Xanthopoulos ($5,340) sent the PLO Main Event into the heads-up stage.

Juhasz found himself heads-up against Finland’s Mathias Siljander, a player with several solid results online at PartyPoker and PartyPoker LIVE events. Siljander enjoyed another great result here, but it was a second-place finish this time. The Finn banked $8,172 while Juhasz helped himself to an $18,417 payday thanks, partly, to $11,257 worth of bounties.

Sweden Has a Sunday Party Champion

The final MILLIONS Online KO edition of the popular Sunday Party drew in a 1,887-strong crowd, leaving us with an overlay of $11,300; great news for those 327 players that finished in the money places!

That $200,000 in prize money resulted in nobody at the final table taking home less than $2,054 for their vast efforts when you include bounty payments.

Ludvig Lindstrom ($2,054), Steven Evans ($2,803), and Eduardo Escada ($2,538) exited stage left, leaving the final table short-handed, a situation where the more aggressive players usually thrive.

Fifth place went to Eduardo Cardigo ($3,943), fourth to Luciano Hollanda ($7,824), and third to Jorge Dinis ($8,544) of Malta.

Both Niklas Kley-Lundborg of Sweden and Alexandru Baron of Canada locked horns heads-up for the title of champion and the largest slice of the $200,000 prize pool. Both locked-in More than $11,600 from the main prize pool, but the final bounty payments were almost as large as those prizes.

Kley-Lundborg gained the upper hand and never looked back, eventually leaving Baron in his wake. The runner-up padded their PartyPoker bankroll with $14,603, leaving Kely-Lundborg to capture a $22,060 prize.
