Each of the nine finalists banked at least five-figures for their efforts.
China’s “du wang ckf02” was the first casualty of the final table. They crashed out in ninth-place for a $10,108 addition to their bankroll.
Greece’s “NoLimit173” followed the Chinese grinder to the showers, their eighth-place exit seeing their PokerStars account swell by $13,928.
Seventh-place and $19,193 went to “Cripple86” of the Netherlands, who was joined on the payout table first by “HS toaster” of Canada then by “pececada” of Denmark. This duo locked up prizes of $26,448 and $36,445 respectively.

Which Twitch legend is ready for the Sunday Million?
Heads-up was set when Brazilian tournament specialist Geraldo “GeraldoCesar” Cesar Neto was eliminated in third place for a $69,203 score.

This meant Momess collected $95,361 when they fell at the final hurdle and the champion turned their $109 into a colossal $131,418, which was one of the biggest prizes of the entire weekend.
