The first Championship Event of the $60 million POWERFEST attracted a field of 181 entrants who were all vying for the $221,300 first-place prize. Five of our Team partypoker members made it into the money.

Everyone at the final table locked up at least $27,500 and the final table had two of our players at it. One by one the final tablists busted out, the prize money vastly increasing each time.

By the time Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier fell in fourth-place, the prize was a massive $83,000. Third-place went to “Algorhtym” who banked $116,000, leaving Anatoly “NL_Profit” Filatov and “WWWpartyCOM” to battle heads-up for the title.

It was WWWpartyCOM who emerged victorious, leaving our hero to collect $159,000 for his runner-up finish. WWWpartyCOM collected $221,300 for their victory to go with the huge $872,839 they won last May in the $25,500 Super High Roller POWERFEST event.
