Team partypoker in Las Vegas: Simao Leading in Money Won

Team partypoker are out in force over in Las Vegas where they are competing at the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP), the many tournaments the major casinos are hosting, and preparing for the upcoming $5 million guaranteed partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Vegas event.

Our stars had cashed 21 times for a combined haul of $220,053 the last time we checked in with them, now they have accumulated some 32 cashes worth $389,823 in total.

Brazilian sensation Joao Simao is the man to catch when it comes to total prize money won. Simao currently tops the charts with $63,283 worth of in the money finishes, an impressive sum helped by Simao finishing 16th in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Millionaire Maker for $59,833.

Ludovic Geilich is hot on Simao’s heels after his deep run in the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller event. Everyone’s favourite Scotsman busted in 23rd place for $50,759 and now has five cashes weighing in at $60,050.

Two other members of Team partypoker bagged their first cash of the series this week. Finland’s Joni Jouhkimainen made the long journey to Nevada to play in the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller and it turned out to be a solid decision because he navigated his way to a 24th place finish worth $50,759.

The legend that is our chairman, Mike Sexton, came close to winning what would have been his second WSOP bracelet in the $2,500 Mixed Big Bet event. Sadly, Sexton had to make do with the $12,240 awarded for a seventh-place finish.
