The Big Saturday saw 128 players buy-in, which left a near $4,300 overlay, adding more value to an already awesome tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-three of the 128 starters saw a return on their investment, so spare a moment&#8217;s thought for 24th place finisher <strong>&#8220;yagrebulave&#8221;<\/strong> who was the unfortunate soul that popped the all-important money bubble. With the bubble burst, the surviving players locked in at least $534.19 for their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>By the time the nine-handed final table was set, the minimum cash weighed in at $825.13, with all but two players securing a four-figure sum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;bartholin8&#8221;<\/strong> saw their time at the final table limited because they bowed out in ninth. Eighth place and the last three-figure score, $974.37 to be exact, went to <strong>&#8220;derlangegrinderJR.&#8221;<\/strong> Everyone was now seeing more than $1,100 hitting their accounts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;RinxFrinkX&#8221;<\/strong> busted in seventh for $1,128 before <strong>&#8220;For_Tuna&#8221;<\/strong> was caught without the good and had to settle for the $1,316 sixth-place prize. Fifth place and $1,620 went to <strong>&#8220;SkytPoker,&#8221;<\/strong> with <strong>&#8220;Jose Exotico&#8221;<\/strong> falling by the wayside in fourth, a finish good for $2,148.<\/p>\n<p>Three-handed play ended, and the tournament progressed to the exciting heads-up stage when <strong>&#8220;olespengefabrik&#8221;<\/strong> ran out of steam in third. Although disappointed not to go all the way, the third-place finisher cannot be too disappointed about turning $109 into $2,997.<\/p>\n<p>Heads-up pitted <strong>&#8220;Leonel_pepsi&#8221;<\/strong> against <strong>&#8220;Drogabaa.&#8221;<\/strong> There was more than $2,100 difference between first and second-place money, but neither of the final two players was interested in striking a deal. Instead, they concluded the Big Saturday as it was intended.<\/p>\n<p>After an intense one-on-one battle, Drogbaa clinched the title and the $6,491 top prize, resigning Leonel_pepsi to the $4,322 consolation prize.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"results\">The Big Saturday Final Table Results<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Place<\/th>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Prize<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Drogbaa<\/td>\n<td>$6,491<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>Leonel_pepsi<\/td>\n<td>$4,322<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>olespengefabrik<\/td>\n<td>$2,997<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>Jose Exotico<\/td>\n<td>$2,148<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>SkytPoker<\/td>\n<td>$1,620<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>For_Tuna<\/td>\n<td>$1,316<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>RinxFrinX<\/td>\n<td>$1,128<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>derlangegrinderJr<\/td>\n<td>$974<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<td>bartholin8<\/td>\n<td>$825<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"weekend\">The Big Action Continues Sunday<\/h2>\n<p>The Big Saturday may be done and dusted, but that does not spell the end of hot action at PartyPoker this weekend because Sunday is jam-packed with some incredible tournaments that are waiting for you to take them down and claim their juicy top prizes!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/en\/tournaments\/the-sunday-carnival\"><strong>The Sunday Carnival<\/strong><\/a> kicks off at 19:05 GMT.
