The 15th and final day of the $30 million guaranteed POWERFEST paid out more than $7.3 million thanks in part to three Championship Events each with $1 million guranteed.
One of the winners of a Championship Event was the Netherlands’ “HaHaHakim” who banked a cool $210,183 after a heads-up deal with Malta’s “AndreshhParty94”. Let’s check out the three biggest events from the final day’s action.
