Two more massive Poker Masters<\/strong><\/a> crowned their champions on April 22 as another $2,345,000 was awarded. Dan Smith<\/strong> was the main beneficiary of these huge events and he took down the $25,500 buy-in tournament and saw $511,875 wing its way to his partypoker account.<\/p>\n

Poker Masters #21: $1M Gtd NLHE 8-Max<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

$25,500 was the buy-in for the 21st Poker Masters tournament of the series but that didn\u2019t deter 63 players buying in. This meant the $1 million guarantee was surpassed by $575,000.<\/p>\n

It also meant there was a $74,812 bubble to contend with. Canada\u2019s Guillaume Nolet<\/strong> was the unfortunate soul to bubble, his ninth-place exit proving quite expensive.<\/p>\n

Nolet\u2019s demise also set the final table where Koray Aldemir<\/strong>\u2019s appearance was short-lived. He collected $74,812 for his eighth-place finish. Eelis Parssinen<\/strong> scooped the same sum when his tournament ended in seventh-place, before Steve O\u2019Dwyer<\/strong><\/a> added another $86,625 to the coffers after running out of steam in sixth place.<\/p>\n

Matthias Eibinger<\/strong> locked up the first six-figure prize of the event, namely $110,250. Alex Foxen<\/strong> joined him on the rail soon after, doing so with a cool $141,750 payout. Timothy Adams<\/strong><\/a> busted in third for $228,375 which left Artur Martirosian<\/strong> and Dan Smith<\/strong> to play one-on-one for the title.<\/p>\n

Smith defeated his Russian opponent and walked away with $511,875, leaving Martirosian to collect $346,500.<\/p>\n

Poker Masters #22: $500K Gtd NLHE 6-Max<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Event 22 was another guarantee-buster with 77 players exchanging $10,400 for the chance to become a Poker Masters champion.<\/p>\n

Our very own Mikita Badziakouski<\/strong><\/a> finished in 13th place, which was unlucky because that was the last spot not receiving any prize money. Badziakouski\u2019s team-mate Kristen Bicknell<\/strong><\/a> min-cashed for $21,096 after falling in 12th.<\/p>\n

Two more Team partypoker players reached the money places too. Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s ninth-place finish was worth $25,025 while Joni Jouhkimainen<\/strong><\/a> finished in sixth and got his hands on another $32,725. It\u2019s been quite the month for our Finnish superstar.<\/p>\n

Ali Imsirovic<\/strong> was the fifth-place finisher. He banked $48,125. David Peters<\/strong> joined Imsirovic on the sidelines, doing so with $67,375 in his wallet, before recent Poker Masters champion Alexandros Kolonias<\/strong><\/a> finished in third-place for $92,400.<\/p>\n

Alex Foxen<\/strong><\/a> and Sebastian Lewin<\/strong> clashed heads-up in a battle of the Canadian flags. Lewin came out on top and turned his $10,300 into a most impressive $240,860, leaving Foxen to reel in $150,150.<\/p>\n

Two More Massive Events On April 23<\/h2>\n

Another $25,500 buy-in event with $1 million guaranteed kicks off at 20:00 CET on April 23. This time it is a 6-max PLO event which is going to be insane! Two hours later, a 6-max NLHE event shuffles up and deals. This costs $10,300 to enter and has at least $500,000 in the prize pool.<\/p>\n
