There were so many massive online poker tournament scores on April 12. The Irish Open Main Event crowned its champion and awarded more than �460,000. The first three Poker Masters events ran and several festivals created huge scores.

Let��s take a look at some of the most impressive prizes won.

Turbo Series 54: $5,200 NLHE 8-Max High Roller at PokerStars

Thomas ��WushuTM ��Muehloecker was the last man standing in the Turbo Series 54: $5,200 NLHE 8-Max High Roller at PokerStars. Some 180 players bought in for $5,200 ensuring the $750,000 guarantee was surpassed by $150,000.

The final table was ridiculously stacked. Simon ��simon1471�� Higgins, fresh from an Irish Open runner-up finish, busted in eighth for $30,220. Former EPT High Roller champ Kenny ��Kenny05�� Smaron followed suit, before Sergei ��srxakgirona�� Reixach fell in sixth place.

In-form Luke ��Bit2Easy�� Reeves ducked out in fifth for $64,702 with Austria-based Belarusian Ryhor ��Grisha813�� Karapanau collecting $83,391 for his fourth-place exit.

British star Sam ��SamSquid�� Grafton finished in third and secured a $107,480 prize before the heads-up duo struck a deal before locking horns. That deal meant Simon ��C.Darwin2�� Mattsson banked $153,361 when he finished in second place, leaving Muehloecker to pad his bankroll with $160,706.

$1,050 Sunday Warm-Up at PokerStars

Mustapha ��lasagnaaammmm�� Kanit found himself in the winner��s circle when he topped a field of 258 in the $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up. Victory in this tournament netted the talented Italian $49,610.

Kanit sent Russia��s ��Futti18�� to the rail as the tournament��s bridesmaid; Futti18 banked $37,691.

Earlier at the final table, Chris ��ImDaNuts�� Oliver, formerly ranked first in the world for online MTTs, fell in fifth for $16,529 with ��B4NKROLL3R�� locking up the $28,635 third-place prize.

POWERFEST: Big Game $1M Gtd Phase Final at partypoker

The player known as ��onehundredeyez�� took down the massive POWERFEST edition of the partypoker Big Game. The aforementioned Muehloecker��s old partypoker alias was ��onehundredeyes�� before the enforced change last year, which is worth bearing in mind.

First-place in this huge event, which had a $1,314,665 prize pool, weighed in at $241,082! Which makes it surprising there was no heads-up deal because second-place, won by ��Discipline13�� was $174,451, over $66,000 less!

One other player turned their $5,200 into a six-figure prize. That was ��Kanchenjunga�� who finished in third for $122,358. partypoker high stakes regular ��GimmeHummus�� netted the $89,043 fourth-place prize.

partypoker MILLION at partypoker

The partypoker MILLION smashed its guarantee out of the park with $1,301,024 being awarded to the top 792 finishers.

It ended in a four-handed deal, a deal that saw more than $482,000 distributed. ��RoseBtn�� officially finished in fourth spot and collected $94,965. Third-place and $106,195 went to ��badunkadonk�� before ��Testosterone1�� got their hands on $111,810.

��Ladderless77�� can now afford some ladders because they finished in top spot and saw $170,000 transferred to their partypoker account.

The top 368 finishers secured a payout, but it was the final four players who benefited the most as they struck a deal that divided up more than $240,000.

Austria��s ��TerryTate�� was the first deal maker to get some prize money, namely $60,115. A similar amount, $60,101, went to ��jerbi9999�� from sunny Malta. Dutch player ��Outchea�� won the biggest prize, $64,098, despite finishing in second place. This left ��mach 5 retard�� to pad their bankroll with $61,397.

The $5,000 Sunday Main, part of the GGSeries, attracted a field of 104 entries who were all outlasted by ��CallthePolice��. First-place was worth $113,140 of the $494,000 prize pool, an impressive return indeed.

Everyone at the nine-handed final table walked away with at least $13,694 although only the champion netted six-figures.

Runner-up ��neymar90�� won $85,191 with Albania��s ��Trashdawg�� turning their $5,000 into $64,146 when they ran out of steam in third place.

Nobody won less than $1,994 when bounties were taken into consideration and the final three players now have five-figure prizes to brag about.

Third-place went to Russia��s ��NSP14�� whose $11,661 prize was bolstered by $2,785 worth of bounties. Their exit set up a one-on-one battle between ��ALLCasH90�� of Belarus and ��petty1997�� of Brazil.
