The final events of the 888poker The Festival Online concluded on August 1, including the eagerly anticipated Main Event. Some 813 players bought into the Main Event and created a guarantee-busting $162,600 prize pool, but only nine of those starters navigated their way to the final table, which was streamed on the 888poker Twitch channel on August 1.
Commentators Nick Wealthall and David Tuchman relayed all of the action, which was fast and furious from the get-go. It took just over an hour for Argentina's "Pbustos14" to accumulate all the chips in play, and become The Festival Online Main Event champion, and receive a wallet-filling $26,552 in prize money.
