Zufic came out on top of a talented group of players at the seven-handed final table and secured a payout worth $43,387 with bounties included.<\/p>\n

Joao Simao and Patrick Leonard were among the superstars who cashed in this event<\/p><\/div>\n

Scores of stellar players bowed out before the final table of this $32 buy-in event. They included Team partypoker trio Joao Simao<\/strong><\/a>, Matthew Staples<\/strong>, and Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a>, the latter bowing out in 64th place. Progressing deeper than Leonard but missing out on a final table berth were such luminaries as Stefan Jedlicka<\/strong>, Damian Salas<\/strong>, Bruno Volkmann<\/strong>, Ole Schemion<\/strong><\/a>, Jack Sinclair<\/strong>, and final table bubble boy Benjamin Chalot<\/strong>, who you may recall is a former MILLIONS Online Main Event<\/strong><\/a> winner.<\/p>\n

Each of the seven finalists locked in a prize of more than $5,000 when you added bounty payments to their main prize pool payout.<\/p>\n

Finnish star Tomi Brouk<\/strong> was the first of those seven to fall by the wayside. Roman Kuljis<\/strong>, the legendary Christian Rudolph<\/strong><\/a>, and David Lasierra<\/strong> followed suit to the rail. Third place and a total score worth $16,611 went to Ignas Jasinevicius<\/strong>, whose elimination left Zufic heads-up against British pro Ben Warrington<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Both heads-up players receive a shade over $23,500 from the main prize pool, but the bounties were now in five-figure territory. This meant Zufic bolstered his prize with $19,842 in scalps when he defeated Warrington in the one-on-one battle. Warrington boosted his payout with $4,171 from the bounty prize pool.<\/p>\n
