Toggle## Titans of Poker: The Best of the Best
Each year, the Titans Event gathers the crème de la crème of poker players. It's not for the faint-hearted thanks to the sky-high stakes and cut-throat competition. This time around, some poker greats like Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo, Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs, Niklas "Lena900" Astedt, Dominik "Bounatirou" Nitsche, and Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois were all in the running. Despite their best efforts, none of these seasoned pros could make it into the top seven and snag that sweet prize money.
As the final table of the Titans Event unfolded, a phenomenal exhibition of poker prowess played out. Only seven of the nine finalists secured a prize, causing the elimination of two very skilled players. To add some intrigue, a former online poker pro known as "hello_totti" placed ninth, while Ole "wizowizo" Schemion landed in eighth. Schemion had a near miss as he'd just won the $224,424 New Year Series Main event and nearly made the money in the Titans tournament.
Lessons from the Jonathan Proudfoot Table: What it all means
The seven players who managed to make it to the money round walked away with some serious coin - between $12,837 and a jaw-dropping $91,663. Here's a look at the final table breakdown:
While Austria's "Kurfurst" placed seventh and pocketed $12,837, Pedro "pvigar" Garagnani from Brazil came in sixth with $17,814. Well-known British grinder, Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane, earned $24,720 for his fifth-place finish.
Alexandre "ReWaRds84" Reard, two-time WSOP bracelet holder, landed in fourth place and walked away with $34,304. Earlier that day, Reard also nabbed first place at the $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up High Roller, adding an additional $19,912 to his winnings for the weekend.
Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos, one of the best in the game, finished in third place and took home $47,602. Now, the stage was set for the ultimate showdown: Proudfoot vs. "Phemo." After a nail-biting battle, Proudfoot emerged victorious and added another remarkable achievement to his poker résumé. "Phemo" received a consolation prize of $66,056 for placing fourth in the most recent New Year Series Main Event.
Show-stopping Performances: More Weekend Highlights
Though Proudfoot's victory at the Titans Event stole the spotlight, there were plenty of other outstanding performances at the PokerStars tournaments over the weekend. Alexandre Reard took the $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up High Roller crown, adding $19,912 to his previous Titans winnings. Matas "bebaimis777" Cimbolas of Lithuania also made a splash by winning the $215 StacKOsaurus championship and earning $15,686, including escalating bounty payments.
But it wasn't all peaches and cream for everyone. Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg came close to win but lost to Paddy Power representative Conor "ccOOnnOOrr" O'Driscoll in the $530 Bounty Builder High Roller final table. O'Driscoll drove away with a tidy sum of $9,773. Meanwhile, Spragg still had reason to celebrate as he'd hit the 100,000 Twitch subscribers mark, which translated to a major victory - $10,700 - in the same tournament he live-streamed.
