The Grand is a brand new addition to the partypoker tournament schedule. It costs $1,050 to buy into direct<\/strong>, but you can play your way into it via phased tournaments with buy-ins of $2.20, $22, and $109.<\/p>\n

Only the top 47 finishers won a slice of the $280,576 prize pool, Ireland’s Tom Dunne<\/strong> being the unfortunate soul who burst the money bubble. Dunne’s exit paved the way for players such as Sylvain Loosli, Team partypoker trio Jaime Staples<\/strong><\/a>, Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a>, and Isaac Haxton<\/strong><\/a>, and Mary Pudmoreff<\/strong><\/a> to see a healthy return in their investment.<\/p>\n

Pudmoreff’s exit in tenth place set the final table where $53,425 waited for the eventual champion.<\/p>\n

Fox Is Slain<\/h2>\n

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Elio Fox<\/strong> was the first of the nine finalists to bow out. Fox had to make do with the $5,488 ninth-place prize. Lucas Cominelli<\/strong> and Daniel Rezaei<\/strong> joined Fox on the sidelines with prizes of $6,628 and $8,040 in their partypoker accounts.<\/p>\n

The last five-figure prize of the evening went to Thomas Boivin<\/strong>, who collected $9,865 for an impressive sixth-place finish.<\/p>\n

Hungarian star Marton Czuczor<\/strong> saw his tournament end abruptly in fifth place, a finish worth $12,291. Sosia Jiang<\/strong><\/a> of New Zealand was the tournament’s last standing female player. The Kiwi crashed out in fourth spot and padded her bankroll with $17,042.<\/p>\n

Fara Finishes in Third<\/h2>\n

Heads-up was set when Tomas Fara<\/strong> fell by the wayside in third. Fara turned his $1,050 investment into a most impressive $25,553.<\/p>\n

Schemion and Austrian Simon Grabenschweiger<\/strong> locked horns heads-up for the title and the lion’s share of the prize pool. The difference between first and second place was $16,253, so nobody would have batted an eyelid had the heads-up duo struck a deal. No deal was struck, however, and Schemion brushed aside his opponent. The lack of a deal meant Schemion scooped $53,425 which left Grabenschweiger to lock in the $37,172 consolation prize.<\/p>\n
