Barbosa Binks the MILLIONS Online KO Opener"},"content":{"rendered":"

William Barbosa<\/strong> of Brazil is the first MILLIONS Online KO<\/strong><\/a> champion of the current series after he outlasted 912 opponents in the $162 buy-in $125,000 guaranteed Opener<\/strong>. The impressive victory came with $17,225 in prize money, giving the Brazilian sensation a significant bankroll boost.<\/p>\n

Plenty of big names were among the 136 PartyPoker players who were present and correct on Day 2 of the Opener. The likes of Jerry Odeen<\/strong>, WSOP bracelet winner Ben Dobson<\/strong>, Steven Van Zadelhoff<\/strong>, Fabian Gumz<\/strong>, Martin Mulsow<\/strong>, our very own Matthew Staples<\/strong><\/a>, and Joao Ferreira<\/strong> all cashed but came short of the final six spots.<\/p>\n

All six finalists called Brazil or Austria home. Austria’s Gilles Simon<\/strong> busted in sixth for $4,182 before Brazil’s Breno Avelino<\/strong> crashed out and collected the $4,007 fifth-place prize.<\/p>\n

The next three casualties were all Austrians: Johan Schulz-Pedersen<\/strong>, Soenke Jahn<\/strong>, and runner-up Tomas Patka<\/strong> fell by the wayside one after another. They saw prizes of $4,695, $8,433, and $9,568 hit their PartyPoker account.<\/p>\n

The night and tournament belonged to Barbosa of Brazil, our first champion of the series. Can he build on this early success and become a double MILLIONS Online champion, or will you stop him from achieving that goal?<\/p>\n

Rodriguez Forges Early Main Event Lead<\/h2>\n

The first $1 million guaranteed MILLIONS Online KO Main Event<\/strong> flight is in the bag, and it saw 162 PartyPoker players take to the virtual felt. Only 24 of those hopefuls made it through to Day 2 at the first time of asking, and nobody bagged up more chips than Matthieu Rodriguez<\/strong>, who is now armed with 17,288,711 chips in addition to $2,125 worth of bounties.<\/p>\n

Only three other players finished Day 1A of the $1,050 buy-in Main Event with an eight-figure stack. Patrick Lauber<\/strong> (15,096,234), Alessandro Sarro<\/strong> (11,193,442), and Pedro Madeira<\/strong> (10,232,430) are that deep-stacked trio.<\/p>\n

We have to give a special mention to another three players, PartyPoker grinders who won their MILLIONS Online KO Main Event seat via the value-packed Mega Sat. Daniel Brunnmayr<\/strong> (3,700,785), Mathew Cranshaw<\/strong> (3,369,260), and Rostislav Krhenek<\/strong> (1,776,664) are now through to Day 2, having captured $1,050 seat for a fraction of their cost in our MILLIONS Online KO Main Event Mega Satellite.<\/p>\n

You can follow in their footsteps by qualifying for this weekend’s mega satellite, doing so from as little as a single cent! Head to the PartyPoker tournament lobby where you will find all the amazing satellites under the MILLIONS tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Other MILLIONS Online KO Results<\/h2>\n

It is not only the Opener that has crowned its champion but almost a dozen other MILLIONS Online KO events. We had our eyes on #09 8-Max<\/strong>, a $530 buy-in tournament that drew in 103 entrants. Two members of Team PartyPoker navigated their way to the final table. However, both fell short.<\/p>\n

Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a> bowed out in ninth, but Jaime Staples<\/strong><\/a> made it to heads-up, where he, unfortunately, lost to the Spanish legend that is Adrian Mateos<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
