Thomas Boivin is in particularly good shape and dominates the edition of MILLIONS Online KO on party poker. The popular Belgian won not one, not two, but three MILLION Online KO titles, totaling over $25,000 in prize money. Even better, Boivin is in the top 15 MILLIONS Online KO Main Event guaranteed $1 million at $1,050 buy-in, where he has already collected $750 in prizes.
Boivin’s first victory came inevent 8-max at $530 buy-in, which attracted a limited number of 84 participants. No final table is easy to get through, but this one was especially tough. The release of the British shark Oliver Sprason made things a little easier, as did the elimination of the Canadian Philippe D’Auteuil and Team PartyPoker star Matt Staples.
The Swedish one ludwig lindstrøm finished sixth, a remarkable achievement considering he had not won a single prize before crashing. Manuel Carvalhowinner of the Weekender 7-Max event, finished fifth before Luciano Holland and Giuseppe Orlando falls, leaving Boivin heads-up against Jonathan Proudfoot.
Both players had already cashed in over $5,600 from the main prize pool, but the final prize was worth much more. Another $6,800 was deposited into Boivin’s account when he knocked out Proudfoot for second place. Boivin collected $12,416 in total, while Proudfoot received $7,798 for his runner-up finish.
