Massive prizes were the order of the day on January 11 as the KO Series One Shot tournaments crowned their champions. The trio of One Shot champions won a combined $87,304 between them! Here’s who won those events.

KO Series #16 – One Shot: $300K Gtd Final Table Results

The $1,111 buy-in One Shot attracted a field of 302 entrants who were all outlasted by “Kronktheman”. Our champion sent 12 opponents to the sidelines on their way to victory before getting their hands on their own huge bounty payment courtesy of being the last player standing. All those bounties added up to $36,712, more than $12,000 more than they banked for finishing in first-place ($24,020)!

Nobody at the final table won less than $3,600 and five of the finalists padded their bankrolls with five-figure scores.

Hats off to “wp-14” who crashed out in seventh-place and won $4,614. That only tells part of the story, however, because wp-14 also scooped $5,570 worth of bounties along the way so reeled in a $10,184 score, one larger than both the fifth and sixth-place finishers!
