“BARRELSWEET” will look back on December 28 with great fondness because it’s the day they became a KO Series champion. BARRELSWEET was one of 283 entrants in the $1,111 buy-in event and was the last player standing when the dust settled.
Victory in this high stakes battle weighed in at $55,541 with bounties included. In fact, the champion’s bounty haul was almost $11,000 more than the first-place prize, showing how profitable PKO events can be.
“Pep_Guardiola” was the tournament’s runner-up and they can’t be too disappointed with that result. Second place was worth $22,479 which was boosted by $4,907 worth of bounty payments.
Fifth place finisher “ShraFTW” was only $33 short of a five-figure haul while “IwillTr1pleU” and “Jupiter Jones” walked away with prizes in excess of $15,000.
Everyone else at the nine-handed final table won more than $5,000 each.

PottersBar Triumphs in the Mini One Shot
“PottersBar” is a town in Hertfordshire, England but also the name of the partypoker player who won the $111 Mini One Shot KO Series event.
A star-studded field of 1,882 players bought into this event and PottersBar shone the brightest. Their $111 investment is now worth $25,929 thanks to securing the $12,662 top prize and accumulating $13,267 worth of bounties.
A chunk of that bounty payment came from sending “Karakorum2” to the rail in second-place. Our runner-up’s combined prize was $13,814, which is a pretty good return on a $111 buy-in and sets them up for more KO Series entrants in the coming week.
