April 26 was a massive day for partypoker\u2019s tournament players. POWERFEST<\/strong> continued smashing its guaranteed and the Poker Masters<\/strong><\/a> came to a thrilling conclusion.<\/p>\n

There was another POWERFEST title for Team partypoker\u2019s Joao Simao<\/strong><\/a>, there\u2019s simply no stopping the Brazilian sensation!<\/p>\n

POWERFEST: $150K Gtd 8-Max PKO<\/h2>\n

Some 1,676 players bought into the $150K Gtd 8-Max PKO<\/strong> for $109 and it was our own Joao Simao who was the last man standing.<\/p>\n

Simao had to overcome a tough final table that included the likes of Diogo Veiga<\/strong> and Ali Zihni,<\/strong> the latter falling in sixth-place for $2,391 plus $693 worth of bounty payments.<\/p>\n

The top three finishers each won more than $10,000 when bounties were included. Rafael Eltz<\/strong> busted in third for a combined prize worth $10,246. This set up a heads-up clash between Simao and Biagio Sereno<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our hero got the job done and claimed a total prize worth $21,629, leaving the runner-up to scoop $12,806.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

POWERFEST: $400K Gtd 8-Max PKO<\/h2>\n

Marc-Andre Ladouceur<\/p><\/div>\n

Another member of Team partypoker went deep in a high stakes POWERFEST PKO event, but fell at the final table. Josip Simunic<\/strong><\/a> navigated his way to the eight-handed final table of the $400K Gtd 8-Max but his stay was short-lived. Our Austrian star busted in seventh-place for $4,914 plus $3,180 worth of bounties.<\/p>\n

Ireland\u2019s Toby Joyce<\/strong> crashed in sixth for a combined $10,292 with another Ireland-based grinder in Darrell Goh<\/strong> seeing his tournament end in third place. This netted Goh a prize worth $26,490 in total.<\/p>\n

Goh\u2019s exit left Joonatan Kaunisto<\/strong> and Marc-Andre Ladouceur<\/strong> to play one-on-one for the title. Kaunisto lost the battle to the Canadian WSOP bracelet winner and consoled himself with a combined prize worth $38,811. This left the talented Ladouceur to collect $65,129.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

POWERFEST: Big Game $1M Gtd Phase Final<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Alex Foxen<\/p><\/div>\n

The Big Game<\/strong> once again beat its guarantee with $1,174,170 awarded across the top 32 finishers. As you would expect from a $5,200 event, those who cashed read like a who\u2019s who of online poker.<\/p>\n

Our own Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a>, Connor Drinan<\/strong>, Mike Watson<\/strong><\/a>, Tom Middleton<\/strong>, and Samuel Vousden<\/strong><\/a> cashed. As did Leonard\u2019\u2019s teammates Jordan<\/a> Drummond<\/strong> and Joni Jouhkimainen<\/strong><\/a>, the latter falling in 10th for $20,900.<\/p>\n

Poker Master champion Pascal Lefrancois<\/strong><\/a> burst the final table bubble, falling in ninth for $20,900.<\/p>\n

The eight-handed final table was ridiculous; it was so packed with talent. Bruno Volkmann<\/strong> was the first casualty. Recent guest on the Jaime Staples<\/strong> Weekly Poker Showdown Benjamin Rolle<\/strong> followed suit before Poker Masters Main Event winner Linus Loeliger<\/strong><\/a> fell in sixth for $49,315.<\/p>\n

Nick Petrangelo<\/strong> and Daniil Lukin<\/strong> crashed and burned before Jordi Urlings<\/strong>\u2019 tournament ended abruptly in third-place for a $123,874.<\/p>\n

Brazil\u2019s Yuro Dzivielevski<\/strong> and Alex Foxen<\/strong><\/a> fought it out for the massive top prize. It was Foxen who got his hands on this, a cool $239,413. His heads-up opponent had to settle for a $173,777 runner-up score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
