Poker Masters Online: Pauli Ayras Takes The Lead After Brief Hiatus

State of enmity?

Glad of the break?

Who knows how the high stakes phenoms and shot takers felt when partypoker shoved a bookcase in front of the door leading to the Poker Masters Online Series, but who cares, it’s back, and anyone writing about poker these days is mighty glad about that.

Tom Waters’ butler has the results of a third of seven $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) events, and it was the predatory urges of Pauli Ayras that came out on top.

Ayras became the first player in the series to win two games, and his latest #1 finish saw him rise to the top of the Championship Leaderboard with five cashes and close to a million dollars in earnings.

Sam Greenwood finished runner-up, the second time that’s happened, and although he doesn’t feature in the Top 5 positions on the Championship Leaderboard, he sits third in gross profit with $677,625 amassed over the series.

Justin Bonomo finished in the money (ITM) for the fifth time, and the one-time leader, Andras Nemeth, did the same for the sixth time.

It was a good day for David Peters, who finished third in Event #19, and then came runner-up to O’Dwyer in this one – his first two ITM finishes of the series.
