April 03, 2024 Matthew Pitt Senior Editor
Brazil's Felipe "ketzerfelipe" Ketzer has plenty of reasons 💪 to spend Monday celebrating after he took down theR$5,200 Titans Event online at PokerStars for a coolR$82,009. Ketzer's prize would 💪 have been even larger had he not struck a heads-up deal with his fellow countryman Rodrigo "SELOUAN1991" Selouan.
Sixty-eight players bought 💪 into the Titans Event this week, and created aR$340,000 prize pool. Such a prize pool meant all nine finalists more 💪 than doubled their investment. Ole "wizowizo" Schemion was the first to fall before Team PokerStars Pro Sam "SamSquid" Grafton bowed 💪 out in eighth.

Oliver "Sk2ll_m0dR" Weis 💪 and David "MissOracle" Yan fell by the wayside, and left only five players in the hunt for the title. Greek 💪 grinder "dimiangelako" busted in fifth, with "Grozzorg" of Austria seeing their tournament end in a fourth-place finish. Heads-up was set 💪 when Mexico-base Russian "hello_totti" ran out of steam.
The Brazilian duo of Ketzer and Selouan agreed upon a deal that ultimately 💪 saw Selouan finish second forR$78,495 and Ketzer clinch the title, which came withR$82,009 reasons to be delighted with his performance.

Dominik Nitsche
Dominik "Bounatirou" 💪 Nitsche overcame a tough field to become theR$1,050 Sunday Cooldown champion this week. A compact yet stellar field of 47 💪 entrants fought tooth and nail to be the last player standing.

Kazakhstan's 💪 "Hofr" was sent packing in third, leaving two Goliath's of the poker world head-to-head. Nitsche defeated Preben "prebz" Stokkan heads-up 💪 and receivedR$16,668 in total, with Stokkan heading into the night with aR$9,668 consolation prize.

The Festival Online 💪 Main Event kicks off at 888poker from April 6, and Austrian "zavor4ik" warmed up for it in style by triumphing 💪 in theR$40,000 guaranteed Sunday High Roller. Some 81 players bought in forR$525, and each of the nine finalists more than 💪 doubled their money.
"Ydavidy77" and "matokr" were the first players to be eliminated from the final table. "QdEqTeCalaz" joined those busted 💪 players in the role of a spectator before the exits of "wacko90" and 888poker regular "xFink_Ploydx" left four players contesting 💪 the tournament.
Ireland's "9salute46" and "ukrLaci" of Ukraine fell in the latter stages, before zavor4ik defeated "Sickslick" in the one-on-one battle, 💪 and reeled in the tournament's only five-figure prize, namelyR$11,340.

Lam Denies Odeen in the PartyPoker Grand
TheR$1,050 Grand is PartyPoker's largest buy-in tournament of the week, and this 💪 latest edition saw 70 players enter.R$75,000 was up for grabs, but British star Tom Hall narrowly missed out on some 💪 prize money because he fell in 14th place and popped the money bubble.
$2,890 was the least anyone at the final 💪 table could win, and that sum went to Boris Angelov of Bulgaria. Anton Blondal, Euan Baxter, and Jonathan Proudfoot were 💪 eliminated, before a trio of Malta-based grinders made their way to the exits. Alberto Cigliano was the first, followed by 💪 Alan Goasdoue, and finally four-time WSOP bracelet winner Michael Gathy.
Gathy's untimely demise left Jason lam heads-up against Jerry Odeen, and 💪 it was Lam that came out of that particular battle unscathed. Lam reeled inR$18,816, resigning Odeen to theR$12,344 consolation prize.

RL-t1Nd3R-> Shines in the SuperR$55
It may have only costR$55 to enter, but the PartyPoker SuperR$55 paid 💪 out an impressiveR$63,000, someR$3,000 more than the advertisedR$60,000 guarantee. That chunky prize pool was created by 1,260 players buying in, 💪 and it was "RL-t1Nd3R->" that outlasted them all.
RL-t1Nd3R-> saw theirR$55 investment swell toR$6,970 and the title of champion. That prize 💪 was made up fromR$3,651 from the main prize pool andR$3,319 worth of bounties, including the price on their head, as 💪 happens in PKO tournaments.
"VIKINGBoss" was the runner-up, and although disappointed not to get a win under their belts, theR$5,547 they 💪 collected for their second-place finish will go some way to numbing the pain of defeat.
