Brazilian sensation Renato “renato_nomura” Nomura was the first of our heroes to reach a final table, doing so in the POWERFEST #03-SHR: $500K Gtd. It was a tournament commanding a $5,200 buy-in and 126-players stumped up the cash to create a $630,000 prize pool that was shared among the top 16 finishers.
Nomura eventually fell in seventh-place to turn his $5,200 investment into a $25,200 haul. “Player2341” was the first casualty of the eight-handed final table.
After Nomura bust, “SunTzu”, “PunchlineEnBata”, “Van_Vian_Van” and “tdlvechickenbn” crashed out for score ranging between $31,500 and $78,750.

The $2,100 buy-in POWERFEST #04-HR: $400K Gtd PKO looked set to be taken down by the one and only Roberto “R_Romanello” Romanello, but the Welsh star ran out of steam midway through the final table.
“Brachiosuarus” busted in eighth-place for more than $14,000 (including bounties) and was joined on the rail by “I-Am-Benjami” and “Kroat..” Fifth-place and a haul of more than $20,000 went to “CarpePiscis” before Romanello’s impressive run came to an end in fourth-place, which banked him $17,237 from the main prize pool and $3,281 in bounty payments. Good game, sir.
