Darren Elias added the POWERFEST #15 High Roller title on partypoker to his ever-growing list of poker victories. This latest triumph came with $134,480 in prize money!

The tournament drew in 114 players who each paid $5,200 for the chance to become the latest POWERFEST High Roller champion. Only 20 of those starters won a slice of the $570,000 prize pool.

Teun Mulder, Sosia Jiang, Nick Petrangelo, Alex Foxen, Artur Martirosian, and Stephen O’Dwyer were among those who cashed. Swedish online poker legend Niklas Astedt busted in eight for $16,947.

Fourth place and $43,964 went to Joakim Andersson, before Pascal Hartmann busted in third place and collected $64,143.

Darren Elias and Marius Gierse were the last two standing and they battled it heads-up for the title and the tournament’s six-figure top prize. Elias, a four-time World Poker Tour champion, defeated his Austrian opponent and took home the $134,480 top prize. Gierse, while disappointed not to win, cannot be too unhappy with his $91,515 consolation prize.
