PKR's Oktoberfest comes to an end.

5 November 2008

LONDON, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The second annual Oktoberfest has come to a climax with lucky winners of the 12 hot events staking claim to their share of over $318,000 in prizes.

The curtain fell on the richest PKR.com poker festival to date with the guaranteed prize pool for every single event smashed! The most prestigious of the series, the $100,000 Guaranteed PKR Masters, was won by 'keepsmiling' who will be living up to his username following a display which earned a huge $27,360 payout.

Community stalwarts took charge and dominated the Oktoberfest leaderboard – the title eventually scooped by 'Zeorbok', who topped the chart just out of reach of PKR.com hot-shot 'Discomonkey'. Rounded off by the 'Tournament of Champions', the series served up some memorable action – especially for 'sourshark' who took home the top prize of the final event for a cool $5,000.

Asides from bragging rights, fat payouts and 'champions' titles, final tablists of the most exciting tournaments will gain their moment of fame on PKR Tournament TV. In-game footage will be broadcast with expert commentary to millions of homes across Europe and episodes can also be viewed on demand via PKR.com's dedicated online channel, PKR.tv.
