Maue Blocks Astedt’s Comeback Victory in Online Poker

After winning a record-breaking $4 million for placing third in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, Swedish player Niklas “Lena900” Astedt wasted little time returning to the online poker tables on Sunday. Astedt continued to dominate after his dominant performance at the WSOP.

The Titans Event, the top weekly high-stakes tournament on PokerStars, included 46 players, including Astedt, and had a prize pool of $5,200. The $230,000 prize pool could only be shared by the top six finishers due to the small but intense field.

Rodrigo “seijistar” Seiji was the first player ousted from the final table of nine; he did not receive a reward for his elimination. Pedro “pm_marke” Marques and bubble boy David “MissOracle” Yan followed him shortly after, and their departures guaranteed that the remaining participants would each receive $12,165.

The bare minimum was won by “lowfoam” of the UK, and another famous player, Michael “imluckbox” Addamo, was the next to go, taking home $17,768.

Juan “Malaka$tyle” Pardo, a Spanish superstar, took fourth place at $25,951; Alexandros “Pwndidi” Theologis, who earned $37,902, went third. This set the stage for a showdown between Astedt and Leonard “Grozzorg” Maue.

Despite a $25,000 disparity between the top two finishers, neither athlete chose to sign a contract. Astedt received a consolation award of $55,358 for finishing second, while Maue took home $80,853 and the tournament winner title.

New Sunday Million Champion: “WoWulam”

The most recent $109 Sunday Million PKO had 10,158 players, which was $15,800 more than the $1 million payout. This amount was split in half and put into two different prize pools: one for the main prize and one for the bonus.

With a $109 buy-in, “WoWulam” won this two-day event and earned a total prize of $77,090, which included $23,696 in bonuses. This was more than the total prize for coming in fifth place.

The winner from the Philippines beat a group of famous players, such as Sebastian “peace&loove” Huber from Team PokerStars, Timothy “1BigAceHole” Ulmer, Tom “Jabracada” Hall, Peter “Belabasci” Traply, and “Sintoras.” Most of the players at the final table won five figures. Manuel “manuverd0n” Bardon came in seventh and won $13,116.

“WoWulam” beat the Brazilian “xX.TESSERACT.Xx” in a head-to-head match, winning the title and the last bounty. In the second place, “xX.TESSERACT.Xx” won $58,156, while “WoWulam” won the Sunday Million and $77,090.

The Main Event of MicroMillions Comes to a Three-Way Chop

The Main Event, the last event of the MicroMillions festival, had a buy-in of $22 and a guarantee of $500,000. Its outstanding worth attracted 24,599 participants. The previous four players won over $11,000 from their $22 entry. As expected, the event concluded in a three-way chop, with the usual prize pool dividing $19,176 among the last three players. If bounties were included, their rewards would have been substantially higher. “Pysch0P4th” earned $24,054 for placing third. Second place went to Greece’s “akamion9” with $21,259, while first place went to Brazil’s “vinivarella22” with $28,319.
