Before any cards were dealt, we guaranteed $7.8 million would be won, but when event 172 ended, the total prize money awarded weigh in just shy of $9.1 million, making this Powerfest the biggest yet.<\/p>\n<p>A huge slice of that astronomical sum of money came courtesy of the <a title=\"heavyweight\" href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/en\/tournaments\/annual-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heavyweight <\/a>and high roller week, which partypoker player supported like never before. The $215 buy-in Powerfest Main Event smashed its $500,000 guarantee by $22,000, with three players chopping more than $180,000. Those three players were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SnipeDonkey &#8211; $62,716.68<\/li>\n<li>easylimppp &#8211; $62,545.01<\/li>\n<li>ProLuckbox &#8211; $60,749.07<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Amazingly, the two $1 million events also reached and then beat their guarantees, ensuring some massive prizes were won. Like the $215 buy-in Main Event, the larger $1,050 buy-in Main Event was chopped, but this time heads-up where both players scooped more than $162,000! A total of 144 players shared a total of $1,146,000 in this tournament.<\/p>\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>PCMPCM<\/td>\n<td>$168,055.44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>jvieiradias8<\/td>\n<td>$162,612.61<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>ProLuckbox<\/td>\n<td>$107,151<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>TheScouse_AA<\/td>\n<td>$80,220<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>ekziter<\/td>\n<td>$57,300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>denn1spr0fi8<\/td>\n<td>$45,840<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>DeanMalenko<\/td>\n<td>$34,380<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>wobanlve<\/td>\n<td>$22,900<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>OwnYrSoul<\/td>\n<td>$13,179<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The other million dollar guaranteed tournament was for the high rollers.
