The Festival Online concluded at 888poker on August 1, with the crowning of the $200,000 guaranteed Main Event champion. The $250 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em tournament saw a total of 1,016 888poker players buy in over the course of several Day 1s, creating a $238,760 prize pool as a result. That huge pot meant 888poker paid out almost $1.2 million across The Festival, and the Main Event's champion was the biggest winner of the series.
Only 149 of the 1,016 starters made it through to Day 2, and those returning players were whittled to the final eight. "GoodStoryDMG" of Belarus sat down at the final table as the chip leader before going all the way and becoming The Festival Online Main Event champion, an accolade that came with $41,305, the largest single haul of the entire series.
