After 8.5 hours of following the exciting partypoker updates, PokerNews saw Aliaksei Boika win this week's The High Roller Big Game for $62,368.
Powerfest #01 - High Roller Opener Day 2 still has two players battling each other heads-up: Sami Kelopuro and Barry Hutter have a pretty even stack so might have some way ahead of them still to see who will win that first-place prize of $107,718.
In the meantime, Powerfest #03 - High Roller has reached the final table which features partypoker Ambassador Kristen Bicknell. Christoph Vogelsang holds the chip lead with Michael Addamo, Alex Foxen, David Peters, Kevin MacDonald, and Joakim Andersson joining them on the final table.
Make sure to check back tomorrow to see who has taken down those two events and any other Powerfest tournaments, right here on PokerNews. But for now, goodnight and see you next week!

While playing online poker with friends has been all the rage, organising private poker games online has been nearly impossible if you wanted to play poker on a mobile device.
That's what makes the new partypoker option different and, at least in this very specific aspect, partypoker's Club Games the best app to organize private poker games online.
Powerfest #03 - High Roller: $500k Gtd Update is closing in on the final table as there are currently 9 players left in the tournament. Michael Addamo is leading those players, followed by Alex Foxen, Christoph Vogelsang, Jon Van Fleet, Joakim Andersson, Kevin MacDonald, partypoker Ambassador Kristen Bicknell, David Peters, and Francois Billard.
As this is a 7-max tournament, two more players need to bust before they are combined onto one final table.
There is a brand new promotion to get involved with over at partypoker that goes by the name of Hot Tables. This promotion makes it possible to win up to $500 extra from pots whenever you play cash games or fastforward poker.
There is no opting in required for the Hot Tables promotion, you simply head to no-limit hold’em or pot-limit Omaha cash and fastforward tables with stakes between $0.05/$0.10 and $0.50/$1.
Thousands of tables are randomly selected each day to become Hot Tables for a hand. partypoker adds between one and 500 big blinds to the pot which the winner of the hand takes away with them in addition to the pot. This means it is possible to win up to $500 extra if you are a $0.50/$1 player.
British poker superstar Sam Trickett is taking some time away from his role of partypoker ambassador and focussing his attention on his growing family.
