Simao wasn\u2019t the only Team partypoker player to reach the money place because Roberto Romanello<\/strong><\/a> continued in his good form to finish 19th for $375 and whatever bounties he collected along the way. By the time the final table was set, $665 was the least anyone would take home.<\/p>\n

One of the world\u2019s best online poker tournament players, Sweden\u2019s \u201cHellmuthTheGr8\u201d<\/strong> was one of the favourites to win this event but he crashed out in fourth place, paving the way for Simao to become a POWERFEST champion.<\/p>\n

Our hero defeated \u201ckartalselami\u201d<\/strong> heads-up to secure the title and the $6,945 prize, plus bounty payments and points for the POWERFEST Leaderboards<\/a>; Simao currently occupies ninth-place in the High Leaderboard, which means he is on course for $1,500 in cash.<\/p>\n

Simao also reached the final table of the $530 buy-in pot-limit Omaha Hi\/Lo<\/strong> event and banked an additional $3,125 for this efforts. Our Brazilian star came agonisingly close to winning two POWERFEST events in one night, but he crashed out in fifth-place. Team partypoker<\/a> member Roberto Romanello finished in 11th for $1,369.<\/p>\n

Shout out to \u201cOmicron_\u201d<\/strong> who was a deserved winner and who collected $15,640.<\/p>\n
