Two more big Poker Masters events saw Pauli Ayras take the lead and over $2.7 million in prize money handed out to the latest batch of winners.

Event #19

The $25,000-entry no-limit hold’em event had just under $2 million in the kitty and saw 77 entries mean that the top prize awarded to the winner would be $548,625.

A pivotal bust-out came when Jorryt van Hoof, who had earlier led the event, crashed out in 11th place, bubbling the money and missing out on what would have been a vital 8th cash of the series. It would be former leaderboard pacesetter Andras Nemeth who slid into the money places in 10th place, cashing for $77,000.
