        Europe’s dominance continued in event #3 as long time PartyPoker player LarsPeter<\/strong> from Germany pocketed a $6,287.55 first prize in the $22 buy-in event.<\/p>\n

        It was another long shift of almost 11 hours before the last three decided to follow the trend and cut a deal. toniolimpic<\/strong> (Spain) and STRECHY73 <\/strong>(Czech Republic) <\/strong>both took home just shy of $4k leaving the top prize to LarsPeter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          The second major event of the day saw the high rollers take centre stage for the $150k guaranteed event #4. The guarantee was smashed an hour before the start and eventually 462 players sat down to generate a prizepool just shy of a quarter of a million dollars!<\/p>\n

          Swedish player SODA1RA<\/strong> had one thing on his mind – winning! There was no danger of a deal here as he dominated the field and took home the $57,750 top prize.<\/p>\n

            The second points tournament attracted a bumper field of over 3,000 players who fought it out for the $500 prizepool.<\/p>\n

            After six and a half hours it was ice667<\/strong> from Germany who was the last man standing. Following a disappointing show in event #2 the previous day his performance was enough to take out miha1971chuk<\/strong> in second for his first Pokerfest crown.<\/p>\n
