Ivan Raich<\/strong> and Marcos Moreira<\/strong> both became Grand Prix UK<\/strong><\/a> champions after taking down the $109 Knockout<\/strong> and the $11 Mini Knockout<\/strong> respectively. Those victories came with plenty of kudos and cash prizes of $26,080 and $5,172, the perfect start to the festival.<\/p>\n

Rich got his hands on the larger of the two prizes after outlasting 2,792 opponents in the Grand Prix UK #01 Knockout: $250K Gtd<\/strong> event. Day 2 saw the 416 surviving players from the various Day 1s return to the partypoker virtual felt, all safe in the knowledge that they had secured a slice of the main prize pool plus how ever much money they claimed from bounty payments along the way.<\/p>\n

With bounties included, none of the seven players at the final table walked away with less than $4,000 for their efforts. Seventh-placed Harry Kidd<\/strong> padded his bankroll with $5,241, quite a chunk more than sixth-place finisher Ronaldas Braskus<\/strong> who banked $4,030. That\u2019s the joy of PKO tournament, you can win a ton of extra money if you bust opponents.<\/p>\n

Peter Tordai<\/strong> of Hungary and Denmark\u2019s Jonathan Skovsen<\/strong> were the next players out of the door. They saw $7,988 and $9,691 head to their partypoker accounts; the top three finishers were now guaranteed a five-figure haul for their $109 investment.<\/p>\n

Third-place and $12,230 went to Vojtech Skalak<\/strong> of the Czech Republic, whose exit left Raich heads-up against Ioannis Nanos<\/strong>. The one-on-one battle went Raich\u2019s way, and he scooped a total prize worth $26,080, leaving Nanos to receive a $20,484 consolation prize.<\/p>\n

Brazilians Dominate the Mini Knockout Final Table<\/h1>\n

Four of the seven seats at the final table of the Grand Prix UK #02 Mini Knockout: $50K Gtd<\/strong> were taken up by Brazilians, so it should not be surprising that one of them walked away with the lion\u2019s share of the $61,877 prize pool.<\/p>\n

Marcos Moreira<\/strong> netted $5,172 after he defeated his fellow countryman, Patrick Da Silva<\/strong>, heads-up, leaving the runner-up to reel in a $3,877 prize for his $11 buy-in.<\/p>\n

The other two Brazilian stars finished in third and fifth place. Third went to Bruno Delfino<\/strong> who walked away with $2,642 in prize money, with Thiago Souza<\/strong> seeing his partypoker account balance swell by $1,023 when his impressive tournament run ended in a fifth-place finish.<\/p>\n

Will You Become the Main Event\u2019s Champion?<\/h2>\n

Neither Raich or Moreira are likely to compete in the \u00a3150 buy-in Main Event<\/strong>, which comes with \u00a3150,000 guaranteed<\/strong>, because it is an online-live hybrid. Day 2 takes place live at Dusk Till Dawn, Nottingham, United Kingdom, which may be a trip two far for the men calling Argentina and Brazil home. That is two fewer sharks circulating in the waters!<\/p>\n

There are a handful of online Day 1s remaining in addition to some live Day 1s at Dusk Till Dawn. Anyone qualifying for Day 2 via an online Day 1 or who buys into a live Day 1 via one of the online holding tanks automatically enters a last longer competition that pays the ten players who last the longest.<\/p>\n
