The latest edition of the POWERFEST is thriving with guarantees being blown out of the water. Joao Simao<\/strong> headlined our last round-up<\/a> thanks to reaching two final tables. Jeff Gross<\/strong><\/a> is the man under the spotlight this time around thanks to a trio of PLO final table appearances! What a guy!<\/p>\n

POWERFEST #18-HR: $20K Gtd PLO 6-Max<\/h2>\n

Monday saw 83 players exchange $530 for the chance to become the POWERFEST #18-HR: $20K Gtd PLO 6-Max<\/strong> champion.<\/p>\n

Team partypoker Joao \u201cXjoaosimaoX\u201d Simao<\/strong><\/a> almost reached yet another final table but ran out of steam to finish in eighth place for a $1,348 addition to his bankroll. The amazing \u201cSundaynightking\u201d<\/strong> busted in seventh-place and popped the final table bubble.<\/p>\n

\u201cnotably\u201d<\/strong> was the final table\u2019s first casualty. They banked $1,763. Then our very own Jeff \u201cJeffGross\u201d Gross<\/strong> fell by the wayside in fifth-place. This finish netted Gross $2,593.<\/p>\n

\u201cPayAndPlay\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cmunkkis\u201d<\/strong> were the next players to bust, which set up a heads-up battle between \u201cVitoBranciforte\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cattitydsproblem\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The latter emerged victoriously from battle and scooped $12,981. The runner-up consoled themselves with the $8,092 second-place prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

POWERFEST #18-H: $15K Gtd PLO 6-Max<\/h2>\n

Gross reached his second PLO POWERFEST final table of the night in the $109 buy-in event. We\u2019ve added a ton more PLO tournaments<\/strong><\/a> during POWERFEST and to the \u201cnormal\u201d schedule and Gross is a big fan.<\/p>\n

Gross navigated his way to a fourth-place finish in this tournament and reeled in the $1,752 prize. \u201cQuixotic\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cCorey\u201d<\/strong> fell before Gross, winning $860 and $1,290 respectively.<\/p>\n

Third-place and $2,418 went to \u201cUntzUntzUntz\u201d<\/strong>, a username that sounds like the beat to a techno tune.<\/p>\n

\u201cbiiitconnneeect\u201d<\/strong> fell at the final hurdle and secured the $3,440 second-place prize. This meant \u201cRukitaBukezuski\u201d<\/strong> was crowned the tournament\u2019s champion, an accolade that came with $5,354.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

POWERFEST #27-HR: $25K Gtd PLO8 6-Max PKO<\/h2>\n

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low PKO tournaments were launched uring this POWERFESt and Gross jumped straight in. Unfortunately, for Gross at least, he couldn\u2019t quite get the job done the first time around.<\/p>\n

Instead, Gross had to make do with another fourth-place finish. Gross collected $2,069 from the main prize pool and an additional $1,082 worth of bounties. Only the runner-up and champion netted more scalps than Gross!<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, the amazing \u201cJunglemandan\u201d<\/strong> took down this event. Victory saw Junglemandan\u2019s partypoker account swell by $4,613 plus an additional $8,599 worth of bounty payments. You may recall Junglemandan won The Game Game and partypoker MILLION<\/strong><\/a> on the same night. He certainly knows his way around a poker tournament table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

POWERFEST #25-SHR: $500K Gtd 8-Max<\/h2>\n

A field of 127 created a guarantee-busting $635,000 prize pool in the POWERFEST #25-SHR: $500K Gtd 8-Max<\/strong> event. Sixteen players got their hands on some of that money, each netting at least $12,700.<\/p>\n

It was a great tournament for Team Partypoker\u2019s Jason \u201cJason_Koon\u201d Koon<\/strong><\/a>. Koon had been battling it out in Russia in some mega buy-in tournaments. The partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Super High Roller Series Sochi<\/strong><\/a> may not have gone to play for Koon, but he made up for it with a third-place finish here for a cool $79,375.<\/p>\n

This is the largest prize won by one of our players so far. It was, however, blown<\/p>\n
