The player known as ��onehundredeyez�� took down the massive POWERFEST edition of the partypoker Big Game. The aforementioned Muehloecker��s old partypoker alias was ��onehundredeyes�� before the enforced change last year, which is worth bearing in mind.

First-place in this huge event, which had a $1,314,665 prize pool, weighed in at $241,082! Which makes it surprising there was no heads-up deal because second-place, won by ��Discipline13�� was $174,451, over $66,000 less!

One other player turned their $5,200 into a six-figure prize. That was ��Kanchenjunga�� who finished in third for $122,358. partypoker high stakes regular ��GimmeHummus�� netted the $89,043 fourth-place prize.
