 It was a close and we would have an amateur winning PartyPoker Premier League V. Mathew Frankland, who was only one of two players that qualified to the tournament and were completely unknown in the field full of most recognizable names in poker scene, started on Tuesday with the largest chip stack after topping ladder-board on pre-eliminations. However, poker sharks ate him alive and he finished 7th, while Scott Seiver won half a million dollars and a championship title on his birthday.
The final heads-up was played between Scott Seiver and an online poker phenomenon Daniel “Jungleman” Cates. The battle started with even chip counts, and Seiver needed just few minutes to take a 500,000 chip lead (with 1.2mln starting stacks) with his aggressive game and some luck.
When blinds were at 20,000/40,000, Cates got it all-in pre-flop with 7-7, racing in a classing coin flip against Seiver's K-Q. Flop brought T-T-4, 3 on the turn, but Seiver spiked a King on the river and took down the event for the $500,000 first prize.
Each player in the PartyPoker Premier League V also received $2,000 for each point earned in the pre-eliminations. In the end, all 16 players participating won prize money, though only Seiver, Cates, Laak, Patrik Antonius, Tony G, Frankland, and Tom Dwan made enough to cover the $125,000 buy-in.
As mentioned earlier Frankland won his seat in a satellite, so his winnings were all profit as well. his winnings were all profit.
