beukie555 Takes Home $60,000 for Outright Victory in September 14 Party Poker 300K

At 8:49 pm EST, beukie555 put the final touches on a $60,000 payday in what was one of the longest Party Poker $300,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool Weekly No Limit Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament of the 2008 calendar year. Here are the rest of the top ten finishers, their respective countries of origin and prize monies (all dollar values are in USD.)

1. beukie555 / Netherlands / $60,000
2. Kallie11 / Germany / $33,000
3. brelandas57 / France / $20,700

1,444 players entered into the $200 + $15 Hold’em tournament to bring the actual prize pool again well short of the $300,000 guarantee. Party Poker has ponied up a 5 figure overlay in every regular $300K tournament so far this year.

The final table itself was a long and relatively even chat-fest featuring two unusually chirpy players in addition to two of the most successful online tournament players in the world. For a full analysis of the September 14th Party Poker 300K, follow this link:
