Team partypoker\u2019s Ludovic Geilich<\/strong><\/a> became a WPTWOC Event winner on September 13 when he triumphed in the WPT Mix-Max Turbo PKO<\/strong>. Victory in a $2,100 buy-in event is never easy, but wait and see who Geilich had to lock horns with in the tournament.<\/p>\n

WPT Mix-Max Turbo: $150K Gtd PKO<\/h2>\n

A field of 69 players bought into the WPT Mix-Max Turbo: $150K Gtd PKO<\/strong> for $2,100 and it read like a who\u2019s who of the poker world.<\/p>\n

Manig Loeser<\/strong>, Preben Stokkan<\/strong>, Team partypoker\u2019s Kristen Bicknell<\/strong>, Josip Simunic<\/strong><\/a>, Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a>, and Joni Jouhkimainen<\/strong><\/a> among them. Chris Oliver<\/strong>, Dimitar Danchev<\/strong>, reigning MILLIONS Online champion Benjamin Chalot<\/strong><\/a>, Conor Beresford<\/strong>, and Charlie Godwin<\/strong> also went deep, the latter falling in 10th place to burst the money bubble.<\/p>\n

The six-handed final table could have gone either way but it was our hero who shone brightest and emerged as a worthy champion.<\/p>\n

Hungarian duo Tamas Adamszki<\/strong> and Jozsef Liszkovics<\/strong> were the first casualties of the final table. Adamszki would later win the WPT Superstack: $200K Gtd<\/strong> for $40,130.<\/p>\n

Canadian star Allan Berger<\/strong> ran out of steam in fourth-place before Artur Martirosian<\/strong> put his second bullet to good use and claimed a combined prize worth $22,586 after his third-place exit.<\/p>\n

Martirosian\u2019s demise left Daniel Rezaei<\/strong> and Geilich heads-up. Both players secured almost $21,000 from the main prize pool but there was the not so small matter of a massive bounty payment up for grabs. Geilich got his hands on that when he busted his final foe, meaning everyone\u2019s favourite Scotsman walked away with $44,591 and Rezaei was left to bank $24,762.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

WPT 8-Max Weekender: $500K Gtd PKO<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some 489 players bought into the WPT 8-Max Weekender: $500K Gtd PKO<\/strong> for $1,050 and it was Phil Mighall<\/strong> of the United Kingdom who got his hands on the lion\u2019s share of the prize pool.<\/p>\n

The eight-handed final table was as stacked as it could be. The waters grew less shark-infested after the eliminations of Ilya Anatski<\/strong> and Scott Margereson<\/strong> early on. Roman Pessoa<\/strong> and Vojtech Skalak<\/strong> followed suit to leave only four players in contention for the title.<\/p>\n

Four-time WSOP bracelet winner Dominik Nitsche<\/strong><\/a> crashed out in fourth but not before locking up $27,483. Adrian Mateos<\/strong><\/a>, a regular on the partypoker LIVE circuit, finished in third for $34,450 to leave Mighall and fellow Brit Ian Bradley<\/strong> heads-up.<\/p>\n

There was no deal struck which meant Mighall scooped up a combined prize weighing in at $78,294. Bradley can be proud of his second-place finish in such a star-studded tournament; it netted him $50,337.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
