PartyPoker Sunday Party The $109 buy-in Sunday Party is the new flagship weekly tournament at PartyPoker, and has been since its launch in February when PartyPoker revamped its online poker tournament schedule . The Sunday Party hit its $150,000 guarantee during its first week, but then saw an overlay in the following two weeks. PartyPoker decided to boost the guarantee to $200,000 on February 26 despite those overlays, and was rewarded by 2,014 players turning out, and creating a $201,400 prize pool! Build it and they shall come, as they say.
The top 351 finishers won a slice of $107,000 from the main prize pool, with the remaining $107,000 divided up and placed on the heads of each entrant in the form of a progressive bounty. Although the initial amount won from bounties was only $25, those payments swelled at the final table to such a degree that only two finalists banked less than $1,000 from the bounty prize pool, while the champion took home a five-figure haul worth of bounties alone.
“CanYouFold” was the final table’s first casualty. Their ninth-place finish came with a prize weighing in at $1,966 in total. “Paspalho” ($2,421), and “Scoobyduuu” ($2,930) bowed out, which left the final table six-handed.
The final six became five when “A222C7600E” ($2,891) crashed out, then four when “AyyKaramba,” ($5,414) a possible fan of The Simpsons, saw their stack slide to an opponent’s. “Emaxxi” ($5,385), and “Vittor_R0d” ($8,170) crashed and burned, leaving only two players in the hunt for the title of $200,000 Sunday Party champion.
Both of the heads-up players locked in almost $11,000 from the main prize pool, but the final bounty payment was worth more than $13,000, leaving everything very much to play for. Eventually, “Nepomniachtch” defeated “Takafogonela” in the one-on-one battle, and reeled in a total prize worth $23,999, leaving the runner-up to pad their bankroll with $13,634.
