Sammy Lefleur<\/strong> became a PartyPoker Grand Prix KO Autumn edition<\/strong><\/a> champion after he navigated his way through a 949-strong field in the $200,000 guaranteed 7-Max Championship<\/strong>. Canada’s Lefleur came out on top of a final table dominated by Norden players and padded his bankroll with $26,197.<\/p>\n

Only 141 of the 949 progressed to Day 2, each having locked up $237.37 from the regular prize pool in addition to any bounties they picked up along the way. Stars such as Jonathan Proudfoot<\/strong>, Jerry Odeen<\/strong>, Jareth East<\/strong><\/a>, and our very own Jaime Staples<\/strong><\/a> reached Day 2 but fell before the seven-handed final table was set.<\/p>\n

Denmark’s Henrik Juncker<\/strong> ($2,822) was the first of the seven finalists to find themselves on the sidelines. Sweden’s Ludvig Lindstrom<\/strong> ($5,154), Mexico-based grinder Diego Thomas<\/strong> ($6,664), and Dane Patrick Hyllegaard<\/strong> ($6,717) joined the list of busted players.<\/p>\n

Heads-up was set when Canada’s Jonathan Bussieres<\/strong> ($9,903) fell by the wayside; the heads-up duo were now guaranteed five-figure scores.<\/p>\n

Lafleur and Elias Suhonen<\/strong> of Finland fought it out one-on-one having secured more than $13,900 from the main prize pool. Both players had sent plenty of opponents to the rail before reaching this point, so the final bounty weighed in at over $12,000.<\/p>\n

Lafelur got the job done and walked away with the title of champion in addition to $26,197 in prize money. Suhonen headed into the night with $19,462 to show for his efforts.<\/p>\n

Legoupil Becomes the Mini 7-Max Championship Winner<\/h2>\n

The $22 buy-in Mini 7-Max Championship<\/strong> crowned its winner and Malta’s Joffrey Legoupil<\/strong> is that champion. Legoupil came out on top of a 2,969 field to turn his $22 investment into the lion’s share of the $75,000 prize pool, namely $7,271.<\/p>\n

Each of the seven finalists saw their $22 buy-in swell into a six-figure sum thanks, in part, to the bounty element of this exciting tournament. John Nugent<\/strong> ($1,345), Kiril Protsenko<\/strong> ($1,375), and Kyle Cronin<\/strong> ($1,721) were the first trio of finalists to fall by the wayside. Martin Alcaide<\/strong> of Bulgaria ($2,388), and the United Kingdom’s Paul Murphy<\/strong> ($4,032) busted out, leaving Legoupil heads-up against Germany star Daniel Yerin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Having locked in more than $5,300 from the regular prize pool, the heads-up duo fought it out for the final bounties of the event. Legoupil got his hands on those final bounties, taking his total haul to an impressive $7,271 and leaving Yerin to collect the $6,186 consolation prize.<\/p>\n
