Preben Stokkan<\/strong> is enjoying a purple patch of form online at PartyPoker, The United Kingdom-based Norwegian high-stakes specialist leads the 2022 MILLIONS Online Main Event<\/a> only days after outlasting 252 opponents in MILLIONS Online #14 Closer PKO. Stokkan got his hands on $73,423 of the $379,500 prize pool.<\/p>\n

Day 2 of the $1,575 buy-in $300,000 guaranteed Closer PKO<\/strong> saw 37 players return to the PartyPoker tables. The Day 2 read like a who’s who of the online poker world, as you would expect from such a prestigious tournament.<\/p>\n

On the way to the eighth-handed final table, the likes of Christopher Frank<\/strong>, Alexandros Theologis<\/strong>, Andras Nemeth<\/strong><\/a>, Jans Arends<\/strong>, and Team PartyPoker’s Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a> all fell by the wayside. Brazil’s Eder Campana<\/strong><\/a> was the ninth-place finisher and the player that burst the final table bubble.<\/p>\n

Philippe D’Auteuil<\/strong> and Tauan Neves<\/strong> were the first two players who fell at the final table and the only pair of stars that walked away with less than a five-figure haul for their effort.<\/p>\n

The players at the final table breathed a sigh of relief when Niklas Astedt<\/strong> bowed out in sixth, before the eliminations of Francois Billard<\/strong> and Thomas Santerne<\/strong> left only a trio of players in the hunt for the title and the lion’s share of the prize pool.<\/p>\n

The final three became two when Daniel Jackson<\/strong> of the United Kingdom crashed out. Jackson collected a total prize worth $26,831. Heads-up pitted Stokkan one-on-one with Austria’s Alexander Tkatschew<\/strong>, and Stokkan got the job done. Stokkan secured the title and $73,423, leaving Tkatschew to head into the cold of the night with $35,756 in tow.<\/p>\n

Zanoni Takes Down the Mini Closer PKO Event For $21,736<\/h2>\n

MILLIONS Online #15 Mini Closer PKO<\/strong> proved popular with the 1,184 entrants creating a $177,600 prize pool, which was much larger than the advertised $100,000 guarantee. Only 177 of those starters made it to Day 2 and locked up a $158 min-cash in addition to any bounties they collected along the way.<\/p>\n

Daniel Wilson<\/strong>, Michael Gathy<\/strong>, Jack Sinclair<\/strong>, Tomi Brouk<\/strong><\/a>, Steven Van Zadelhoff<\/strong>, Christian Rudolph<\/strong>, Gianluca Speranza<\/strong>, and Jakob Miegel<\/strong> were among the Mini Closer PKO player to cash yet fall short of a final table appearance.<\/p>\n

The top three finishers, with bounties included, saw their $162 investment turn into a five-figure score. Jesse Wigan<\/strong>, Matheus Almedia<\/strong>, Roman Pavliak<\/strong>, and Connor Spratt<\/strong> crashed out in positions eighth through fourth and won between $2,987 and $5,680.<\/p>\n

Malta’s Manuel Carvalho collected $12,085 for his third place finish, which left Arthur Thiriart<\/strong> and Carlos Zanoni<\/strong> heads-up for the title. Both players were guaranteed more than $11,300 from the main prize pool, but the final bounty payment was in excess of $10,000 so there was still plenty on the line. Brazil’s Zanoni defeated his final opponent and reeled in a $21,736 score, leaving Thiriart to bank an $11,820 consolation prize.<\/p>\n
