Darren Elias<\/strong> added the POWERFEST #15 High Roller<\/strong> title to his ever-growing list of poker-related victories in the early hours of April 19. This latest triumph came with almost $135,000 in prize money!<\/p>\n

The tournament drew in 114 players who each paid $5,200 for the chance to become the latest POWERFEST High Roller champion. Only 20 of those starters won a slice of the $570,000 prize pool, Shawn Daniels<\/strong> falling in 21st place and bursting the money bubble.<\/p>\n

Daniels\u2019 exit locked up at least $10,000 for the surviving players. Teun Mulder<\/strong><\/a>, Sosia Jiang<\/strong><\/a>, Nick Petrangelo<\/strong><\/a>, Alex Foxen<\/strong>, Artur Martirosian,<\/strong> and Stephen O\u2019Dwyer<\/strong> were among those who cashed. Swedish online poker<\/a> legend Niklas Astedt<\/strong> busted in eight for $16,947 and set the official final table.<\/p>\n

Our very own Joni Jouhkimainen<\/strong><\/a> was the final table\u2019s first casualty. The Finnish Team partypoker star walked away with $20,384 for his seventh-place finish.<\/p>\n

Linus Loeliger<\/strong> and high-stakes guru Timothy Adams<\/strong> joined Jouhkimainen on the rail, doing so with prizes worth $25,199 and $32,354 respectively. Fourth place and $43,964 went to Joakim Andersson<\/strong>, before Pascal Hartmann busted in third place and collected $64,143.<\/p>\n

Hartmann\u2019s demise left Darren Elias and Marius Gierse<\/strong> heads-up for the title and the tournament\u2019s six-figure top prize. Elias, a four-time World Poker Tour champion, defeated his Austrian opponents and reeled in the $134,480 top prize. Gierse, while disappointed not to win, cannot be too unhappy with his $91,515 consolation prize.<\/p>\n

Sami Kelopuro<\/strong><\/a> triumphed in the $1,575 POWERFEST #14 High Roller Knockout Weekender<\/strong> event and is now $81,015 richer as a result. Winning poker tournaments seems easy for Kelopuro, but this victory was tough thanks to some of thegame\u2019s superstars being among the final 52 who made it through to Day 2.<\/p>\n

Such luminaries as Joseph Cheong<\/strong>, Ami Barer<\/strong>, Aleksejs Ponakovs<\/strong>, Team partypoker\u2019s Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a>, Samuel Vousden<\/strong>, and Jens Lakemeier<\/strong> all reached Day 2 but fell short of a final table berth.<\/p>\n

As did Darrell Goh<\/strong>, Dmitry Yurasov<\/strong>, and Alex Foxen<\/strong>, the latter busting in tenth with seven seats at the final table.<\/p>\n
