Marty Mathis wins the partypoker MILLIONS South America Main Event after beating the local lad Bruno Volkmann heads-up for the title and $873,700 in prize money.

partypoker and the hundreds of people who exchanged coal mines, mushroom farms, and impotence treatment centres for the poker tables of MILLIONS South America have now left after Martin Mathis became the latest champion of the new world order.

It’s the first partypoker pow-wow since Rob Yong and the gang decided to turn old school with $10,000 buy-in, $5m Guaranteed MILLIONS Main Event freezeouts, and only the metric makers will know if it was a success.

The event attracted 439-entrants, resulting in an overlay, and the American Mathis took most of that free money, defeating Bruno Volkmann and Matas Cimbolas in the aftermath of carving up a three-handed deal.
