Ladies and gentlemen, the Grand Prix KO Autumn edition<\/strong> Main Event has crowned its champion, and that champion is none other than Sweden’s Emil Sjogren<\/strong>. The $109 buy-in tournament saw 5,123 PartyPoker players create a guarantee-busting $512,300 prize pool<\/strong>, and Sjogren got his hands on $47,569 of that princely sum.<\/p>\n

Some 752 of the 5,123 starters took to the PartyPoker<\/strong><\/a> virtual felt on October 24 to conclude this thrilling event. Team Online’s Jaime Staples<\/strong><\/a> was among them, but our hero could only muster a 213rd place finish.<\/p>\n

The likes of Diego Cuellar<\/strong><\/a>, Michael Gathy<\/strong>, and Tomi Brouk<\/strong><\/a> went deep, although they fell short of the final table.<\/p>\n

Malta-based grinder Antonio Ortega<\/strong> was the nine-handed final tables first casualty. He walked away with $5,059 to show for his considerable efforts. Saloua Benalla<\/strong> ($4,036), Mark Elliott<\/strong> ($8,486), Roman Korkin<\/strong> ($8,276), and Manuel Carvalho<\/strong> ($9,014) joined the list of busted players, the latter capturing the tournament’s last four-figure payout.<\/p>\n

Fifth place and a cool $15,124 went to Zachary Hussain<\/strong> of the United Kingdom before Pal Orsos<\/strong> of Germany bowed out in third for a $18,257 score. Orsos’ elimination left Sjogren heads-up against Czech grinder Jiri Havlena<\/strong>. Both players had locked in more than $28,600 from the main prize pool, but the final bounty weighed in at more than $18,000. That $18,842 final bounty went to Sjogren after he defeated his Czech opponent, meaning the Swede took home a total of $47,569, leaving Havlena to bank a $36,451 consolation prize.<\/p>\n

Zois Outlasts More Than 10,000 Opponents<\/h2>\n

The $11 buy-in Mini Main Event<\/strong> drew in a staggering 10,650 entrants<\/strong>, who created a $106,500 prize pool. That chunky pot meant all but one of the nine finalists turned their initial $11 investment into a four-figure haul that significantly boosted their bankrolls.<\/p>\n

Stuart Liang<\/strong> finished ninth and won $1,079, over $300 more than eighth-place finisher Aksel Danielsen<\/strong> thanks to the fact the former won significantly more from the bounty prize pool.<\/p>\n

Markus Costa<\/strong> ($1,232), Gustavo Cerejeira<\/strong> ($1,616), and Danil Alves<\/strong> ($1,813) all hail from Brazil and were the next three finalists to fall by the wayside. The United Kingdom’s Pal Bernath<\/strong> won $2,718, with Paulo Pinto<\/strong> from Malta netting $4,500.<\/p>\n

Heads-up pitted Thomas Zois<\/strong> of Greece against Brazilian Victor Virgillo Dagnoni<\/strong>. When the dust settled, Zois had all the chips in play and a total haul worth $7,913. Dagnoni may have fallen at the final hurdle but he still took home $6,501 for his bridesmaid finish.<\/p>\n

Brazil Captures High Roller Title<\/h2>\n

The 6-Max High Roller<\/strong> event smashed through its $200,000 guarantee thanks to 773 PartyPoker players creating a $231,900 prize pool. Some $30,383 of that sum is now in the account of Gabriel De Melo.<\/p>\n

Day 2 saw 115 PartyPoker players return to the action, some massive names among them. Such luminaries as Alexandros Theologis<\/strong><\/a>, Niklas Astedt<\/strong><\/a>, our very own Matthew Staples<\/strong><\/a>, Josh McCully<\/strong>, former MILLIONS Online champion Benjamin Chalot<\/strong><\/a>, and final table bubble boy Ronan Sweeney<\/strong> saw a return in their $320 investment.<\/p>\n

Bruno Alva<\/strong> and Nicklas Kley-Lunborg<\/strong> were the first pair of finalists to bow out; they collected $5,602 and $5,413, respectively. Bulgaria’s Iven Denev<\/strong> followed suit ($7,606), with the surviving four players now guaranteed more than $11,000 for their efforts.<\/p>\n

Ian Modder<\/strong> banked $11,626 when he fell in fourth, before Csaba Szasz<\/strong> of Hungary got his hands on the $14,104 third-place prize.<\/p>\n

Gabriel De Melo<\/strong> locked horns with Philippe D’Auteuil<\/strong> of Canada in a battle for the title and the lion’s share of the prize pool. D’Auteuil became De Melo’s eighth scalp of the tournament and had to console himself with an $18,150 consolation prize, leaving De Melo to receive an impressive $30,383 and the title of 6-Max High Roller champion.<\/p>\n
