Diego Ventura Wins Caribbean Poker Party Main Event After Leading Throughout

It was an expert performance that fans would have been buzzing about at the end of last week by Diego Ventura, who was dominant throughout the Caribbean Poker Party Main Event. Ventura led the leaderboard from the very first round until the bitter end, and not even a late attempt from Isaac Haxton could stop him from winning the jackpot prize of $879,894.

It almost seemed as though the pressure was too great for Haxton, as there was an expectancy that he would have overcome the disadvantage going into the final table. However, he was unable to close the gap substantially enough, and was outlasted by Ventura on the final table.

Final Leaderboard Result

Haxton lost all momentum halfway through the event, as he crashed out in fifth place on the leaderboard. He was still able to claim returns of $200,659 for his performance. Philippe D’Auteuil finished a place above the American, and claimed $283,1010 in prize money. However, his finish was still outside the top three in the competition. Dominykas Mikolatis finished in third place on the leaderboard, and took home a cash prize of $414,807. It was an excellent showing, but he was still outlasted by Grayson Ramage, who finished in second place behind the Peruvian champion.

Ramage took home $631,636 in returns for his performance, while Ventura was the man that they were all trying to track down. Ventura won the biggest portion of the pot, as he walked away with $879,894 in returns. It was no less than the Peruvian player deserved, as he was dominant throughout the event. Aleksejs Ponakovs and Enrico Camosci also finished on the final leaderboard, with those players finishing in sixth and seventh place respectively. Camosci walked away with $99,552 in returns from the event.

Huge Upcoming Event

Jonathan Proudfoot and Pavlo Kolinkovskyi rounded off the final leaderboard for the event. Proudfoot eventually finished in eighth place on the leaderboard, and walked away with returns of $78,812. Meanwhile, Kolinkovskyi finished at ninth on the leaderboard, but he would have still been pleased with his performance in the event. He claimed $65,331 in returns for his performance at the event. However, the acclaim was certainly for Ventura, who was the stand out player from start to finish in the event, and he will be looking to continue his momentum next time he settles down at a table.

There promises to be an exciting end to the poker year for fans, as there will be a wide selection of events taking place over the final 25 days of the year. It will be part of the Global Poker 25 Days of Christmas promotion. The action will be getting underway on the 1^st December, and there will be various opportunities for players to get involved in the action over the coming weeks.
