Day 2 shuffled up with 172 players in the hunt for the title, each guaranteed $525 from the main prize pool plus the money they collected via bounties along the way.<\/p>\n

Elio Fox<\/strong> was the tournament first casualty of the evening. Dozens of star players, including Kenny Hallaert<\/strong>, Team partypoker\u2019s Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a>, Joao Simao<\/strong><\/a>, and Jeff Gross<\/strong><\/a>, plus Diego Cuellar<\/strong><\/a>, and Pavel Plesuv<\/strong> joined Fox on the busted list.<\/p>\n

Prize money at the final table started at $3,737 but the bounty payments were now sky-high. Vlad Steffan Lache<\/strong>\u2019s time at the final table was short-lived, he netted $6,291 in total. Egor Prokop<\/strong> joined Lache on the rail, doing so with $6,166 in tow.<\/p>\n

We have to doff our cap to Marc Lange<\/strong>, the seventh-place finisher. The Austrian won $18,203 thanks to accumulating $12,210 in bounties along the way, showing how lucrative PKO tournament can be.<\/p>\n

The final six became five when Diogo Veiga<\/strong> bowed out; the Malta-based pro helped himself to $10,458. Then came the exit of Russian superstar Arsenii Karmatckii<\/strong>, another player who scooped several high-profile scalps along the way. The Russian grinder\u2019s prize weighed in at $28,257 thanks, in part, to $17,620 from the bounty prize pool.<\/p>\n

Heads-up was set after both Milan Sasek<\/strong> and David Stephenson<\/strong> crashed out and fell by the wayside. They walked away with scores of $16,253 and $26,907 respectively.<\/p>\n

Staples and Brazilian Victor Gomes De Castri<\/strong> locked horns heads-up knowing they had each secured more than $36,500 for their efforts. The bounties were now massive, which meant Staples added another $22,830 to his main prize after enjoying his 14 bounty of the tournament. De Castri\u2019s second-place finish came with $11,689 worth of bounty payments.<\/p>\n

Watson Wins the Grand Prix PKO<\/h2>\n

Staples was not the only big PKO winner on December 27 because A R H Watson<\/strong> of the United Kingdom took down the MILLIONS Online Grand Prix PKO<\/strong> for a total prize tipping the scales at $36,945.<\/p>\n

Watson outlasted 3,706 opponents, including the 550 who made it through to Day 2 and became a worthy champion. It was a United Kingdom one-two in this event because Michael Allen<\/strong> navigated his way to heads-up where he faced Watson. Both Brits locked in more than $21,200 from the main prize pool, leaving the duo to fight it out for the substantial bounty prizes on offer.<\/p>\n

Allen fell at the final hurdle and saw his $21,227 main prize pool payout boosted by $3,663. However, Watson\u2019s bounties came in at $15,679 for a total prize of $36,945. A fantastic result for a $109 buy-in.<\/p>\n
