Jaime Staples Finishes Third in The Grand<\/h2>\n

Seventy-four players turned out for The Grand this week, and what a talented field of players they were. Any of the nine PartyPoker stars that reached the final table would have made a worthy champion, but only one of them claimed that honour.<\/p>\n

Ali Akok<\/strong> ($2,890) did not spend much time under the spotlight because he was the first of the finalists heading for the exits. The likes of Artjoms Visockis<\/strong> ($3,184), Swedish legend Niklas Astedt<\/strong> ($3,483), and Malta-based pro Andrea Radicchi<\/strong> ($4,011) joined Akok on the rail.<\/p>\n

The field became shorter with the eliminations of Emil Olsson<\/strong> ($4,912) and Caspar Jensen<\/strong> ($6,382) before our very own Jaime Staples bowed in a respectable third place for $8,684.<\/p>\n

With Staples out of the way, the two remaining players cut a deal that flattened the pay jumps and concluded the tournament. Canada’s Matthew Stumpf<\/strong> officially finished second for $15,134, leaving Ioannis Angelou Konsta<\/strong>s to collect a $16,017 first-place prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Matt Staples Wins the Super $215<\/h2>\n

\"Matt<\/p>\n

Matt Staples was not about to lay around letting his brother take all the glory, so got on the grind himself, with the Super $215 being one tournament he entered. A field of 139 players were left in Staples’ wake as he reeled in a $7,306 score for his impressive victory. However, Staples was not done there, he went on to finish second in a 6-Max Hyper Turbo tournament for an additional $676. We love a little bit of sibling rivalry here at PartyPoker!<\/p>\n

RafsCard Wins the $150K Sunday Party<\/h2>\n

A monster-sized field of 1,499 entrants took to the PartyPoker virtual felt for the $150,000 guaranteed Sunday Party<\/strong>. The prize pool was such that nobody at the final table took home less than $1,864 for their $109 investment, and the top two finishers received payouts of five figures!<\/p>\n

Those two players were none other than runner-up “Finta_Gringo_K9,”<\/strong> who fell at the final hurdle. Second-place prize money weighed in at a cool $10,045. However, the champion, “RafsCard,”<\/strong> collected $16,943, and will forever be able to call himself a Sunday Party champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

tashico Takes Down the Sunday Carnival<\/h2>\n

The Sunday Carnival<\/strong> smashed through its $50,000 guarantee after 2,593 entrants created a $51,860 prize pool, which is pretty cool considering the Sunday Carnival only costs $22 to enter. The top five finishers saw that $22 investment swell to no less than $1,055 and as much as $4,738!<\/p>\n

“Supreme_Leader”<\/strong> ($1,015), “Mr.Anderss0n”<\/strong> ($1,948), and “PsychFox”<\/strong> ($2,189) were the first trio of grinders to bank four-figure prizes. Runner-up “Homesafe”<\/strong> won $3,570 for their efforts, while “tashico”<\/strong> claimed the title of champion and the lion’s share of the prize pool, namely $4,738.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
