The $5,200 Titans Event is one of the toughest online poker tournaments PokerStars runs. The high buy-in usually results in an all-star cast featuring some of the biggest names in the industry fighting it out for a near six-figure score. This weekend Titans Event drew in 73 entrants, who created a $365,000 prize pool; Swedish players walked away with more than $123,000 of the pot.

Only nine players received a slice of the pie, and three of those call Sweden home. After Jakob “Succeeed” Miegel, Rodrigo “SELOUAN1991” Selouan, “Phemo,” and “CPUrul0r” crashed out, all three Swedes that reached the final table were still in with a shout.

The elimination of Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson in fifth, a finish worth $31,005, reduced the Swedish count by one, but both “mamamamama70” and Niklas “Lena900” Astedt were still going strong.

Lithuanian grinder Gediminas “Gedis92” Uselis bowed out in fourth before Ramiro “ramastar88” Petrone saw his latest deep run end in a third-place finish.

The heads-up Swedish duo struck a deal, resulting in almost $10,000 being removed from first place and awarded to second. Astedt ultimately finished as the runner-up and won $83,707 leaving Astedt’s fellow countryman to scoop the title and $88,599.

Leonard Maue Takes Down a $200K Gtd Carnival Series Event

Leonard “Grozzorg” Maue helped himself to a $39,729 score and the title of champion by taking down the Carnival Series 49-H: $1,050 NLHE 8-Max Semi-Turbo. A field of 199 entrants battled it out for the lion’s share of the $200,000 prize pool.

Tam PokerStars’ Parker “tonkaaaa” Talbot was the unfortunate soul who popped the money bubble. Talbot’s untimely demise locked in some prize money for the likes of Gavin “gavz101” Cochrane, Patrick “thebigdog09” Brooks, and Jon “apestyles” Van Fleet.

Five of the nine finalists secured five-figure payouts; “Hendurr,“Dominykas “Mikensonas” Mikolaitis, “13santoy13” and Costa Rica-based Dutchman Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs being those who missed out on a $10,000+ prize.

Austrian “ibotown” fell in third, with “al_capone23” and Klemens “klem90” Roiter joining them on the sidelines, and leaving Maue heads-up against Niklas “Lena900” Astedt, who had earlier finished second in the $5,200 Titans Event.

Astedt had to make do with his second bridesmaid finish of the night, his second-place haul weighing in at $29,641. Maue walked away the victory and with $39,729 to show for his efforts.
