Now twice-monthly, the Masters continues to be every player's target with inviting payouts on offer to the top three finishers. Players from the UK, Australia, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands and Germany filled the seats at the coveted final table, with Aussie allAorKnothin84 leading the stats race with 284 cashes and 159 PKR final tables to his name.
With just two tables and 11 players remaining, the simultaneous eliminations of Moo22 (11th) and Team PKR Pro callmebabe (10th) caused the Masters final table to begin 9-handed, with Parisien Mcquaker holding the 402K chip lead and carin43 the 78K short stack.
One hour and 14 minutes later, Mcquaker dealt the final blow to Scotland's mockjock to claim his first PKR tournament win and a whopping $27,250. At his 16th final table, the Frenchman bagged his biggest win, eclipsing his previous best $1,718 fourth place Primetime finish earlier in the month.
Defeated runner-up mockjock, vying for his 17th tournament victory on PKR, added a record cash to previous Primetime and Sunday Classic final tables, alongside wins in the Grand Prix and $100 Deep Stack.
Also at the final table were Aussie Classic champ allAorKnothin84, Daily $17K finalist carin43 (4th), Grand Prix winner Psychoo01 (5th) and Primetime & Oktoberfest winner gab1988 (6th). Italy's IlBurinoDiTurno, smudge777 and Taddei11 completed the line-up.

Four Brits, two Frenchmen, two Norwegians and a Swiss reached the final table of the $200 buy-in Sunday Primetime last night, with Frenchman okocha93 leading the chip count with a massive chip lead - 257K to his nearest opponent's 113K. Team PKR Pro Beyne propped up the count with a 35K short stack, though no one could write off the Russian Bomber with even one chip.
After an epic final table lasting well into the early hours of Monday morning, France's GSteve, a Sunday $30K champion from May where he picked up $7,500, lifted the virtual trophy. Defeated runner up Joostklp posted his finest PKR result at his fifth final table, having entered the last ten with 112K in chips.
A rare tournament appearance for cash gamer regular dappadan777 ended with a $3,718 cash, the Londoner having experienced a rollercoaster ride at the final table.
Sunday Classic and PKR Open champion okocha93 failed to convert his prohibitive chip lead into the win, finishing fourth for $2,704. Popular Community member Elz442 departed in fifth place, with MTT legend and PKR Master ovnis in sixth. Oldhosk, EspenKR, canfield and Beyne filled the remaining places.
