The latest edition of the $1 million guaranteed Big Game<\/strong><\/a> took place on Sunday 24th February and what a fantastic freezeout tournament it was.<\/p>\n

A field of 196-players descended on partypoker while late registration was open, all hoping to navigate their way into the top 32 finishing positions so they could turn their $5,200 investment into at least $10,400.<\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s \u201cTJXOLOSFAN1\u201d<\/strong> was the unfortunate soul to burst the money bubble, falling in 33rd place to be the last player to exit the tournament empty-handed. Their exit paved the way to riches with the likes of \u201cChelsea72\u201d<\/strong>, \u201crudiqa1\u201d<\/strong>, and \u201cJonasLuck_\u201d<\/strong> all cashing in this huge event.<\/p>\n

Team partypoker\u2019s Dzmitry \u201cDzmitry_Urbanov\u201d Urbanovich<\/strong><\/a> was the player to burst the final table bubble, his ninth-place finish securing a $17,800 payout.<\/p>\n

The eight finalists were guaranteed $23,000 for their effort and it was one of three British payers at the final table who banked this sum. Tom \u201cFugilee\u201d Simm<\/strong> busted in eighth-place with his fellow Brits busting in seventh and fourth-place.<\/p>\n

Seventh-place went to \u201cLintyontheLash\u201d<\/strong> who secured a $31,000 prize with \u201cFMylife\u201d seeing their tournament end in fourth-place for $78,000.<\/p>\n

The top three finishers each walked away with a six-figure prize. Roman \u201cSanityWaterline\u201d Romanovskiy<\/strong> from Ukraine locked up a massive $105,500 prize for their third-place finish, which left \u201cdrakeonne\u201d<\/strong> of Brazil and \u201cRPILON\u201d<\/strong> of Canada to battle one-on-one for the title and the lion\u2019s share of the prize pool.<\/p>\n

There was no deal struck despite a near $56,000 difference between first and second-place, meaning when drakeonne busted in second-place, they won $148,000 and the champion, RPILON, had turned their $5,200 into a gargantuan $203,900<\/p>\n
