As the Poker Masters Online Series moves into the end boss stage, Artur Martirosian leads after another sterling performance saw him finish third in Event #25: $25,500 No-Limit Hold’em.
The Russian has finished in the money (ITM) eight times during the series while banking $1.2m in gross earnings more than anyone else in the competition.
Martirosian finished behind Samuel ‘€urope€an’ Vousden in the $25,500 pecking order. It’s the Fin’s first cash of the series, and the most substantial of a career that has seen him earn more than $8.3m gross while taking down the Sunday Million, Spring and World Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP & WCOOP) titles.
Vousden is a coach on Patrick Leonard’s bitB Staking platform, and according to his roll call on the bitB website, he has collected $2.5m in profit during 20,000 online multi-table tournaments (MTTs) for an ROI of 86%.
Timothy Adams remains in third place on the Championship Leaderboard after cashing in both Event #25 & #26. Adams has etched up ten cashes, more than anyone else in the tournament.
Pascal Lefrancois has also thrown his chip protector into the ring adding a fourth and fifth a few events shy of picking up his second title of the series. Lefrancois becomes the second player after Martirosian to accumulate more than $1m in gross earnings.
There was also the seventh cash for Joni Jouhkimainen who has been the best performing partypoker ambassador of the series by far.
