We have entered the second of three weeks of the $60 million guaranteed POWERFEST<\/strong><\/a> and it appears that players from Brazil are showing the rest of our customers how to enjoy themselves at partypoker.<\/p>\n

Through the first 246 of 670 scheduled events, players calling Brazil home lead the way in terms of number of cashes, final tables reached, and events won! Brazilians have reached the money 6,962 times and reached a final table on 226 occasions. Forty of those final table appearances have resulted in a victory.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, all 40 of those Brazilian victories have come from different players and they have banked a combined $393,276.39 between them for those wins.<\/p>\n

Brazilian players lead the way in outright victories<\/strong> in Low events (12 wins), Medium events (9) and Micro events (11).<\/p>\n

The country closest to Brazil when talking about victories is the United Kingdom. Players from the UK won 35 events during the first week\u2019s action, with those from the Russian Federation tasting victory on 24 separate occasions.<\/p>\n

When it comes to cashes, players from the UK have cashed 5,407 times and Russian have finished in the money 6,393 times. Russians narrowly edge out the UK in final tables reached with 203 to the UK\u2019s 199.<\/p>\n

Multiple POWERFEST Event Winners<\/h2>\n

We have already seen a handful of players who have won more than one POWERFEST event. \u201cDabledore\u201d<\/strong> of Mexico took down POWERFEST #043-H: $150K Gtd PKO<\/strong> for $26,138 and the POWERFEST #045-M: $25K Gtd Fast 6-Max<\/strong> for $4,236.<\/p>\n

Poland\u2019s \u201cChodiaciMertv\u201d<\/strong> is another player with two event wins. They triumphed in the POWERFEST #014-L: $2.5K Gtd [Turbo 6-Max PKO]<\/strong> for $756 and the POWERFEST #020-Mi: $1K Gtd [Fast 6-Max PKO]<\/strong> for an additional $284.<\/p>\n

Another double winner is the \u201cBackDoorMat\u201d<\/strong> of the UK who banked $23,407 when they won the POWERFEST #009-H: $100K Gtd<\/strong> at the start of the festival and a massive $228,177 after being crowned POWERFEST #049-SHR: $1M Gtd [Championship Event – PKO]<\/strong><\/a> champion.<\/p>\n

While winning two POWERFEST events is impressive, two players have managed to take down three each!<\/p>\n

\u201ciikori\u201d<\/strong> of Finland has won three events despite their country having only won eight in total during the first week\u2019s play. They were victorious in the POWERFEST #006-H: $30K Gtd [6-Max PLO]<\/strong>, the POWERFEST #020-H: $75K Gtd [Fast 6-Max PKO]<\/strong> and the POWERFEST #047-H: $150K Gtd<\/strong> events for combined scores of $52,755.<\/p>\n

Lastly, a shout-out to the UK\u2019s \u201cPaul_Folders\u201d<\/strong> who also has three POWERFEST titles to his name during Week 1. They secured the first-place prizes of POWERFEST #013-HR: $100K Gtd [Fast Mix-Max]<\/strong>, POWERFEST #019-HR: $50K Gtd [6-Max PLO]<\/strong> and POWERFEST #051-HR: $1M Gtd [Championship Event – PKO]<\/strong> for total prizes worth $195,531!<\/p>\n
