Brunno Botteon

The PartyPoker MILLIONS Online KO series concluded this week with the crowning of the No-Limit Hold'em Main Event champion. The 1,071-strong field was packed with stars, each chasing the largest slice of the $535,500 prize pool, although none of them shone as bright as Brazil's Brunno Botteon.

Botteon is a seasoned tournament grinder who has more than $9.5 million in online poker earnings. The Brazilian enjoyed a phenomenal 2020, including finishing second to Damian Salas in the WSOP Main Event at GGPoker. Fastforward to today, and Botteon can call himself the PartyPoker MILLIONS Online KO Main Event champion among his many other poker accomplishments.

9Christian PedersenDenmark$1,187$3,569$4,756

Dozens of household names were among the 162 players that progressed from the six starting flights. The likes of Dimitar Danchev, Ognyan Dimov, 2017 MILLIONS Online Main Event winner Jonathan Van Fleet, Tomi Brouk, Sami Kelopuro, and Team PartyPoker's Jaime Staples were among those that saw a return on their $530 investment but fell short of gracing the final table with their presence.

None of the nine finalists took home less than $4,756 for their efforts if you include the bounty payments each collected before busting.

Denmark's Christian Pedersen busted in ninth for the $4,756 mentioned above, with Jerry Odeen following Pedersen to the rail armed with a $12,206 score. Odeen triumphed in the Opening event at the start of the series, and came close to a spectacular double victory here.

Seventh place and $10,849 went to Cassandra Charles of the United Kingdom, the tournament's last standing female player. Then came the elimination of Steven Van Zadelhoff, who scooped $8,400. Van Zadelhoff claimed only $625 in bounties, so must have played some solid poker throughout the Main Event otherwise, he would not have made it to sixth place without busting many opponents,

The exits of Georgi Sandev ($14,455), Victor Onizuka ($24,121), and Malta-based Swede Joakim Andersson ($30,017) left Botteon heads-up against his fellow countryman Henrique Coutinho.

Both players guaranteed themselves more than $34,600 from the main prize pool, but there was still everything to play for because the final bounty payments were worth more than first place.

Eventually, Botteon brushed aside his final opponent, the 13th foe left in his wake, and added a $38,754 bounty haul to his tally for a total score worth $73,417. Coutinho collected $42,616 for his runner-up finish.

Benjamin Juhasz Elimination

It was not only the No-Limit Hold'em Main Event that crowned its champion this week, but the Pot-Limit Omaha Main Event concluded, too. The $215 buy-in event drew in 505 entrants, resulting in a $101,000 prize pool.

Hungary's Benjamin Juhasz was one of those entrants, and it is fair to say that he bulldozed his way to an impressive victory. Juhasz sent 17 opponents to the rail as he marched on to victory, including claiming the scalp of the dangerous Finn Mathias Siljander.

Siljander had to make do with an $8,172 consolation prize, leaving Juhasz to clinch an $18,417 prize, which included $11,257 from the bounty prize pool.
