The partypoker MILLION ended in a three-way deal that included Team Online’s Travis “DramaticDegen” Darroch. A field of 4,472 left a substantial overlay for partypoker, but the 600 players who reached the money places didn’t care as they banked some additional value.

All but one of the final table won at least a five-figure score, “SicutiPegoraro” collecting $9,490 for their eighth place exit. The first of those five-figures went to “lkjhfdswnv” who scooped $14,710 after falling in seventh.

They were joined on the rail by “Nicolasmajda” and “eddyrock” who walked away with $20,890 and $30,750 respectively. Leonardo “ingracia_dinha” Boff busted in fourth place for $44,740 and his exit resulted in the final three players striking a deal to end the tournament.
