Two more partypoker players became MILLIONS Online champions on December 20 and received huge payouts as a result.

Silva Shines in the Super 500

The Super 500 featured a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool but paid out $683,000 thanks to 1,366 players buying in across several starting flights. Some 206 of those starters made it through to Day 2, each of them in the money.

Dozens of poker’s elite players saw a return on their $530 investment. Samuel Vousden, Benjamin Chalot, and Team partypoker’s Isaac Haxton, Jaime Staples, Day Kotoviezy, Joao Simao, and Patrick Leonard all cashed.

Haxton cashed but fell short of the final table

All but one of the nine finalists walked away with at least five figures for the efforts. Ninth-place finisher Morten Hvam netted $8,637.

Pascal Hartmann and Ioannis Angelou Konstas were the next casualties; they won $10,993 and $13,925 respectively. Ying Ho, Joshua Gebissa, and Yannick Schumaker then fell by the wayside to leave only three players in the hunt for the title.

Those three became two when Maxim Mamonov of Russia bowed out in third and collected $51,618. Nino Ullmann and Eduardo Silva fought it out one-on-one for the title, and it was Silva who emerged from the battle victoriously. Silva scooped $109,307 for his victory, leaving Ullman to console himself with the $75,204 runner-up prize.
