We have entered the second of three weeks of the $60 million guaranteed POWERFEST and it appears that players from Brazil are showing the rest of our customers how to enjoy themselves at partypoker.
Through the first 246 of 670 scheduled events, players calling Brazil home lead the way in terms of number of cashes, final tables reached, and events won! Brazilians have reached the money 6,962 times and reached a final table on 226 occasions. Forty of those final table appearances have resulted in a victory.
Interestingly, all 40 of those Brazilian victories have come from different players and they have banked a combined $393,276.39 between them for those wins.
Brazilian players lead the way in outright victories in Low events (12 wins), Medium events (9) and Micro events (11).
The country closest to Brazil when talking about victories is the United Kingdom. Players from the UK won 35 events during the first week’s action, with those from the Russian Federation tasting victory on 24 separate occasions.
When it comes to cashes, players from the UK have cashed 5,407 times and Russian have finished in the money 6,393 times. Russians narrowly edge out the UK in final tables reached with 203 to the UK’s 199.
