Blowout Series at PokerStars

The inaugural Blowout Series has concluded at PokerStars.

The festival was a huge success with a whopping $60 million guaranteed across 88 events, each boasting the customary PokerStars Low, Medium, and High tiers.

Lithuania's "arbaarba" capped off the festival on Tuesday evening by shipping the Blowout Series :$1,050 NLHE [8-Max, The Big Blowout!] for $739,976 for huge win.

Their massive haul came after agreeing to a three-way deal with Fernando "fviana" Viana and Lonnie "thx4urm0n3y" Hallett, who shipped a Blowout Series event earlier in the week.

Meanwhile, Viana earned a bit more than the winner as his runner-up performance was worth $771,416 thanks to a three-way deal made at the final table.

Check out below for the highlights of the final week of the Blowout Series at PokerStars.

Lithuania's "arbaarba" Wins the PokerStars Blowout Series: $1,050 NLHE [8-Max, The Big Blowout!] ($739,976)

After three hours of play on Day 3, Day 2 chip leader "arbaarba" was victorious in the PokerStars Blowout Series $1,050 NLHE [8-Max, The Big Blowout!] after they agreed to a three-way deal with Fernando "fviana" Viana and Lonnie "thx4urm0n3y" Hallett.

"arbaarba" claimed the extra $50,000 for the winner to add $739,976 to their bank roll. The tournament attracted 5,292 unique players who reentered 1,630 times to get to a prize pool of $6,922,000 with the lion-share being handed out on the final table.

"arbaarba" has had many deep runs in several tournaments which also includes a win in the Big $55 for example. Viana held the chip lead during the deal discussion and also got to claim the biggest prize in this tournament and the series on PokerStars. Viana has won more than $5,600,000 in online tournaments with notable scores during the SCOOP but more recently in the Stadium Series Freezeout Grand Final - High $5,200 NLHE for $721,235.

Hallett was the third player involved in the deal and has already won a title in the past weeks but might sound familiar to the readers who follow the Sunday Million results as he has won two of them in the past. The three players were joined on the final table by "milanov888", Vlad "dariepoker" Darie, Eike "Mr. Havener" Onodera, "adkaf", "xMFPx", and "Gordon_dReid".
