Finland\u2019s Sami Kelopuro<\/strong> is no stranger to huge payouts from poker tournaments, and he helped himself to another in the WPT World Online Championships Mix-Max Championship<\/strong> event. Kelopuro\u2019s victory came with a cool $204,246 made up of $81,582 from the main prize pool and an additional $121,664 worth of bounties.<\/p>\n

Eighty-eight players returned to the partypoker virtual felt for the final day of this $2,100 buy-in affair. Team partypoker had several irons in the fire, but they wilted at various stages of the evening.<\/p>\n

Isaac Haxton<\/strong><\/a> was the first player out of the door. Joao Simao<\/strong><\/a>, Yuri Dzivielevski<\/strong><\/a>, and Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a> joined Haxton on the rail, leaving Jeff Gross<\/strong><\/a> as the sole orange diamond in the field. Gross crashed out in tenth place for a combined score worth $8,721.<\/p>\n

With bounties included, nobody at the six-handed final table could win less than $26,718. That is the sum awarded to Ole Schemion<\/strong> when he bowed out in sixth.<\/p>\n

Stoyan Obreshkov<\/strong> of Bulgaria busted in fifth for $48,833, which was more than the $41,676 Simon Mattsson<\/strong> got his hands on thanks to Obreshkov helping himself to $21,078 worth of bounty payments.<\/p>\n

The penultimate elimination was that of Tomi Brouk<\/strong>, who padded his bankroll with $60,715. Brouk\u2019s untimely demise left Kelopuro heads-up against Daniel Smiljkovic<\/strong> for the title and an enormous payout.<\/p>\n

Kelopuro sent his final opponent to the showers to clinch victory and $204,246 in prize money. Smiljkovic collected a combined $99,095 which will help soften the blow of not becoming a WPTWOC champion.<\/p>\n

Jeppsson Wins Another WPTWOC Title<\/h2>\n

Christian Jeppsson<\/strong> won the WPTWOC Main Event<\/strong> last year and now has another series gong to his name. Jeppsson navigated his way through a 1,940-strong field in the $215 buy-in Mini Mix-Max Championship, and scooped $48,982 with bounties included.<\/p>\n

Jeppsson found himself heads-up against Shuxrat Salixov<\/strong>, who has put Uzbekistan well and truly on the poker map. Salixov\u2019s runner-up finish came with a bankroll-boosting payout worth $24,075.<\/p>\n

Olin Turns $22 into $10,062<\/h2>\n

The $22 buy-in Micro Mix-Max Championship was one by Sweden\u2019s Joakim Olin<\/strong> after he came out on top after two days of intense poker action. Some 4,320 players bought in, which meant the $100,000 prize pool overlaid, and Olin took full advantage of the added money.<\/p>\n

Olin saw his partypoker balance increase by five-figures, $10,062 to be exact, despite only investing $22 in this event. Victory was his when he defeated Kristian Sheppard<\/strong> of the United Kingdom heads-up, resigning Sheppard to a $7,511 consolation prize.<\/p>\n

Experience Shines at the Closer Final Table<\/h2>\n

Arold Experience<\/strong> can call himself a WPTWOC champion after the Canadian battled his way through almost 6,300 players in the $109 Closer<\/strong> event. Day 2 was a long affair with 933 players returning to their seats.<\/p>\n

Seven hours and 16 minutes after Day 2 began, Experience had won each and every chip in play. His rewards for such an accomplishment? $55,802, made up of $34,295 in prize money and an additional $21,507 from the bounty prize pool.<\/p>\n

Experience busted Ricardo Augusto Da Silva<\/strong> in second place to secure the title of champion. Da Silva walked away with $35,785 reasons to be delighted with him own performance.<\/p>\n

Riberio Triumphs in the Mini Closer<\/h2>\n

There were a trio of Brazilians at the seven-handed final table of the $11 Mini Closer so it was inevitable one of them would become the tournament\u2019s champion. That is exactly what happened because Paulo Ricardo Coelho Ribeiro<\/strong> finished on top of the pile and turned his $11 into $9,228.<\/p>\n

Ribeiro\u2019s fellow countrymen also banked four-figure sums. Mateus Nhoatto<\/strong> finished in sixth place for $1,593 while Wagner Souza<\/strong> saw his tournament end abruptly in fourth, a finish worth a combined $3,049.<\/p>\n
