From February 6th to the 16th, the Punta Del Este in Uruguay hosted the partypoker MILLIONS South America, offering players premium poker tournament gaming. From the traditional Main Event to high roller options, the poker festival offered it all. The $10,300 High Roller tournament of the series just recently finished up with Farid Jattin earning the first-place finish.
Final Table Details:
During the final table, Jattin had a nice chip stack but was still far behind the chip leader. Rodrigo Seiji held 24 million chips to Jattin’s 12 million+. However, Jattin is an aggressive poker player and he managed to earn a big pot by going head to head with Mike Del Vecchio. Jattin would move up to almost 30 million in chips after winning a hand against Del Vecchio with aces.
Both Jattin and Seiji would go back and forth eliminating competitors until they were the only two remaining. Once the heads-up round began, the two would both had just over 40 million in chips. While it seemed that this round would be long-running, it was short-lived.
Seiji managed to lose a huge pot and be down to just over 3 million in chips, managing to double up only two times before his short stack was defeated by Jattin via an A-6 top hand.
