Goliath Online Concludes; PokerPirate1963 Sails Away With Player of the Series
The inaugural Goliath Online Series has concluded and it��s fair to say the inaugural Grosvenor Poker festival was a roaring success. Fifteen evens have now crowned their champions and Grosvenor has paid out more than ��500,000, which is nothing short of incredible.
We hope you enjoyed our coverage of the massive Goliath Main Event that saw its ��100,000 guarantee obliterated thanks to 2,031 players turning out in force and creating a ��231,495 prize pool.
Gerard ��WRDortmund7�� [Removed:293] triumphed in the Main Event and saw his bankroll swell by a most-impressive ��42,248.
Four more Grosvenor Poker players took down events and wrote their names into the Goliath��s history books.
The first was the player known as ��AnonymousD�� who won the ��30 buy-in 6-Max PKO. This victory weighed in at ��1,022 plus an additional ��923 worth of bounty payments.
��smellitfirst�� helped themselves to the second-largest first-place prize of the series courtesy of being the last man standing in the ��560 buy-in High Roller. Some 122 players bought in to ensure the ��50,000 guarantee was surpassed by ��14,660. smellitfirst got their hands on the lion��s share, namely ��17,619, leaving ��ChefBrad�� to bank ��11,962 which we have on good authority is his largest haul to date.
The penultimate event was a ��5 rebuy and add-on tournament that saw ��Shinkansen�� come out on top of. They walked away with ��689 for their efforts.
Last, but certainly not least, was the ��30 Freezeout Finale. This ��30 buy-in affair attracted 320 players who were all outlasted by ��grannieannie75��. The champion won ��1,747 with runner-up ��BullyDavis�� collecting ��1,299.

PokerPirate1963 Crowned Player of the Series
��PokerPirate1963�� is the Player of the Series after accumulating 510 leaderboard points. A seventh-place finish in the Goliath Main Event was enough to push them over the starting line in front of ��Zebster1994��.
The winner receives a package of tournament tickets worth a cool ��1,000. Zebster1994, who won two events and should be commended for doing so, has a free shot at a ��560 GUKPT event thanks to their second-place finish.
Congratulations to the other eight players in the top 10 for securing some added value from an already value-packed festival.
