Lyle Bateman$1M Gtd Opener Kicks off the 2021 WPT World Online Championships
The WPT World Online Championships (WPTWOC) was one of the highlights on the online poker tournament calendar during 2020, so partypoker is delighted to run the festival again this year. Those of you wanting to attempt to become a WPT champion do not have long to wait to begin your quest because the first events shuffle up and deal on August 12.
August 12 at 2:05 p.m. BST, the $200,000 guaranteed Mini Opener gets underway with the first of three dozen flights. The $22 buy-in 7-max PKO event has flights from August 12 right up until August 23, and at several times each day.
Another partypoker Sunday LIVE is wrapped up with the end of The Weekender Final Day. Only one of the feature games today hit its guarantee, but The Grand was almost 25% above with more than $245,000 in prizes. The Sunday 500 missed the guarantee by $6,000 while The Weekender Final Day was just $100 short of the $100,000 guarantee.
The Grand
The Grand played down to a winner in just over 9 hours, and the final two players chopped it up after Canadian Sebastian Sikorski was eliminated in third place. Niklas Åstedt from Sweden won the top prize of $40,832, but Brazil's Bruno Volkmann won almost as much for second with $40,732. The rest of the final table payouts are below.

The Weekender Final Day
The Weekender Final Day was the last big game to finish today, even though it only clocked in at just over 7.5 hours. It was the last game to start in the day though, so it was also the last to finish. "Hematogen" won more than $12,000 with bounties included, almost 50% more than the $8,452 combined for second place "Scelevco".
