Three more partypoker players can call themselves APAT WCOAP<\/strong> champions after a trio of Championship Events crowned their winners. The PLO, Turbo Knockout, and Turbo are now done and dusted, paving the way to the massive $150,000 guaranteed WCOAP Main Event<\/strong> and its $20,000 guaranteed Mini Main Event cousin.<\/p>\n

Suokas Wins PLO Championship For Finland<\/h2>\n

Jarkko Suokas<\/strong> took down the PLO Championship<\/strong> and saw his $55 investment turn into $2,386. Finnish poker players tend to love pot-limit Omaha and Suokas is definitely in that camp.<\/p>\n

Suokas defeated Kazakhstan’s Andrey Tin<\/strong> heads-up to lock up the title and the lion\u2019s share of the prize pool. Tin collected $1,651 for his runner-up finish, which will go some way to numbing the pain of falling at the final hurdle.<\/p>\n

Third-place finisher Andrey Kilyushev<\/strong> was the tournament\u2019s other recipient of a four-figure prize. The man from Russia scooped $1,158.<\/p>\n

The Czech Republic Has a WCOAP Champion<\/h2>\n

Tomas Lestina<\/strong> is more than $6,000 richer today thanks to winning the Turbo Knockout Championship<\/strong>. The bounty payments grew large by the time the final table was reached and it was Lestina who secured the biggest of them all.<\/p>\n

The Czech grinder\u2019s $3,160 first-place prize was bolstered by a bounty payment weighing in at $3,035, making for a total combined score worth $6,195. His bounty prize was so large because a PKO tournament\u2019s champion gets their hand on their own bounty when they\u2019re the last player standing.<\/p>\n

Thomas Reilly<\/strong> of the United Kingdom was the event\u2019s runner-up. Reilly walked away with a combined prize worth $3,609, an impressive return on a $55 investment.<\/p>\n

All but two of the seven finalists scooped four-figures when bounties were included, showing you don\u2019t have to spend a lot to win big at partypoker.<\/p>\n

Kafouros Wins Turbo Championship For Greece<\/h2>\n

Greek player Georigios Kafouros<\/strong> won the penultimate Championship event of the WCOAP, namely the Turbo Championship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some 657 players bought in and created a $32,850 prize pool that was way more than the advertised $20,000 guarantee. The tournament concluded a shade over five hours after the first cards were pitched, meaning Kafouros\u2019 $5,696 top prize was the equivalent of a $1,100 hourly rate, wow!<\/p>\n

Kafouros defeated James Reid<\/strong> when the tournament was heads-up, leaving Reid to collect $3,954.<\/p>\n

Other players who navigated their way to the final table and banked a four-figure prize were Theodoros Konstantinidis<\/strong>, Viteslav Cech<\/strong>, and Aleksey Konoplev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
