What an incredible turnout it was for the January edition of the Power Series Special Edition tournament. The $55 Sunday Bounty Hunter at 17:00 CET on January 13th had the same buy-in but its guarantee was boosted to $100,000.
A field of 2,312-entrants descended on partypoker and created a guarantee-busting prize pool of $121,380 that was shared among the top 312 finishers, plus whoever managed to eliminate an opponent during the event.
Team partypoker’s Renato “renatonomura” Nomura went the deepest of our pros, busting in 158th place for $74.56 and $140.93 worth of bounty payments. By the time the eight-handed final table was reached, everyone was guaranteed at least $604 from the main prize pool.
