Ukrainian superstar Andrii Novak helped himself to a $91,016 prize at GGPoker this weekend, his reward for coming out on top of a 1,981-strong field in the $525 Bounty Hunters HR Main Event.
Half the $1 million prize pool went onto the heads of all the entrants in the form of a progressive bounty. The remaining 50% was shared among the top 278 finishers.
All nine finalists locked up five-figure prizes when bounties were included. ��JustaMortal�� was the first of those nine finalists to fall by the wayside. ��Fangio��, Aleks Trofimov, and ��JoaoSymon�� followed that early casualty to the rail.
Polish sensation Dominik Panka ran out of steam in fifth-place, a finish worth $23,800 in total. Possible Breaking Bad fan ��HEIZENBERG_G�� was the fourth-place finisher and banked $35,975.
Heads-up was set when ��BocaRosa�� fell in third for $32,726. This left Novak heads-up against ��Bcb20�� of Turkey. Novak brushed aside his opponent and saw a massive $91,016 head to his GGPoker account, thanks to the near $50,000 bounty payment. The runner-up walked away with $59,415 reasons to be proud of their performance.

David Coleman Comes Out On Top in the Sunday 500 High Rollers
David Coleman spends most of his time crushing US-facing online poker site but he headed to Canada so he could play at GGPoker. It proved to be a fantastic decision because he won the Sunday 500 High Rollers and helped himself to a $125,383 reward.
It was a compact field of 108 entrants but a field that contained some of the biggest names from the poker world. Plenty of those names navigated their way to the final table, including Anatoly Filatov (9th - $14,176), Fedor Holz (8th - $18,616), Joaquim Andersson (7th - $24,447), and David Yan (6th - $32,105).
Mexico��s ��TheRayGuy�� (5th - $42,160) and Estonia��s ��bungakat�� (4th - $55,365) were the next to fall, which left Coleman to contest with Jason Koon and Nick Petrangelo three-handed, which isn��t the nicest spot to be in.
Coleman not only held his own but shone brightly, and emerged a worthy champion. Petrangelo crashed out in third fort $72,706, while Koon collected $95,478 for his exit in second. Coleman was the man of the event and we��re sure he��ll put the $125,383 prize to good use.

Battle Against ElkY and Fedor Holz in GGPoker's New Flip & Gos
Aleksejs Ponakovs is the High Roller Big Game Champion
Aleksejs Ponakovs is the latest superstar to take down the High Roller Big Game at partypoker. This $2,600 buy-in event always attracts stellar names, and this week was no different. Just look at the nine finalists from the 128 starters.
Roberto Romanello finished in ninth for $8,827, which left the remaining players to book in a prize worth five-figures.
Bujtas Laszlo, Matthias Eibinger, and David Yan joined Romanello on the sidelines with Yan securing a $14,814 payout.
Ami Barer crashed and burned in fifth before Team partypoker pro Patrick Leonard busted in fourth for a $24,950 addition to his bankroll. Leonard��s fellow Brit Ashley Windsor exited in third for $35,286 to set up a mouth-watering one-on-one battle between Ponakovs and Elio Fox.
The heads-up match could have gone either way but it was Ponakovs who emerged victoriously once the dust settled. This resulted in Ponakovs collecting $79,925 and Fox the $51,428 runner-up prize.
