Another nine events took place on the second day of the $15 million guaranteed POWERFEST at partypoker and all nine tournaments surpassed their guarantees.
The biggest of these nine events was the POWERFEST #07-H: $150K Gtd No Limit Hold’em, a $2,100 buy-in tournament that saw 83 players take to the felt. Team partypoker was well represented with Roberto Romanello, Patrick Leonard and Joao Simao all buying in, but none of them managed to navigate their way to the final 12 places where prize money starting being awarded.
Those who did reach the final table locked up $5,810 for their efforts; this is the sum “JHelppi” secured when he fell in eighth-place. The prize money increased steadily with each player’s exit until only “Doyle_B” and “RedDwarf9” remained in the hunt for the title.
RedDwarf finally defeated Doyle_B and got his hands on $43,990, leaving Doyle_B to claim the $30,710 consolation prize.
