WPT Big Game Mini Final Table Results<\/h2>\n

Bulgaria\u2019s Dimitar Danchev<\/strong> triumphed in the WPT Big Game Mini<\/strong>, a $530 buy-in event with a $300,000 guarantee. Victory in any $530 buy-in tournament is never an easy task but Danchev\u2019s victory was extra special if you look at the talent on show at the final table.<\/p>\n

Kenny Hallaert<\/strong> bowed out in eighth for $5,495 before Michel Dattani<\/strong> and Ramon Da Silva<\/strong> busted for prizes of $6,745 and $9,365 respectively. The first five-figure prize went to Sam Grafton, one worth $12,889. Grafton won $99,000 last weekend and looks to be loving life in the WPT events.<\/p>\n

Swedish legend Niklas Astedt<\/strong><\/a> ran out of steam in fourth and collected $18,430. Third-place and $26,474 went to Daniel Koloszar<\/strong>, leaving Danchev and Matas Cikinas<\/strong> to fight it out one-on-one for the title.<\/p>\n

The heads-up duo struck a deal to conclude the tournament early. Cikinas officially finished second and won $45,652 with Danchev scooping $48,107 and the title of champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

WPT Big Game Mini Final Table Results<\/h2>\n

Norway\u2019s Espen Uhlen<\/strong> missed out on Big Game glory last week but made up for it this week by taking down the $5,200 buy-in edition for a juicy $200,650!<\/p>\n

Uhlen, like Danchev, had to contest with some of the game\u2019s top players on his way to victory. Oskar Prehm<\/strong> was the final table\u2019s first casualty and Alexandros Kolonias<\/strong><\/a> joined him on the rail in seventh. One of our own finished in sixth. Jordan Drummond couldn\u2019t quite get the job done, but the $42,000 he collected will go some way to numbing the pain.<\/p>\n

Andres De Augustin<\/strong> hit yet another major final table. He had to make do with the $55,000 fifth-place prize this time around.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s Allen Berger<\/strong> was the last player not to win six-figures, although his $78,000 fourth-place prize is still massive. Dan Shak<\/strong> continued his hot form with a third-place finish worth $104,200. This left Uhlen and Joao Vieira<\/strong><\/a> as the only players in the hunt for the title.<\/p>\n

No deal was struck despite a near $55,000 difference in prize money. This meant Uhlen scooped $200,650 when he sent Vieira to the showers, Vieira collecting $146,050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

WPT Big Game Micro Final Table Results<\/h2>\n

Bryan Paris<\/strong> added more than $14,000 to his already massive $12 million worth of online poker tournament winnings by winning the Big Game Micro<\/strong>. Paris shone the brightest at the final table and eventually found himself heads-up against a Brazilian opponent in Nilson Sales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The final pair of players decided to make a deal to soften the payjumps. This resulted in Sales finishing second and turning $55 into $14,121, with Paris coming out on top and scooping $14,232.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
