A Competition for the Best Of Jonathan Proudfoot
Every year, the Titans Event brings in a group of world-class athletes. The title is only for the best grinders due to the high stakes and tough competition. This event had some big names in poker, like Juan “Malaka$tyle” Pardo, Aleksejs “APonakov” Ponakovs, Niklas “Lena900” Astedt, Dominik “Bounatirou” Nitsche, and Pascal “Pass_72” Lefrancois. No matter how hard these seasoned pros tried, they couldn’t make it into the top seven and win the prize money.
At the Titans Event final table, a show of outstanding poker played out. Only seven out of the nine finals secured prizes, resulting in the elimination of two skilled players. Furthermore, a retired online poker pro named “hello_totti” came in at number nine. Ole “wizowizo” Schemion came in at number eight. Schemion almost made it to the money in this tournament but didn’t quite make it because he had just won the $224,424 New Year Series Main event.
