A big congratulations to Sorel Mizzi, the winner of the star-filled $125,000 PartyPoker Premier League VII. The event, which consisted of 12 world-known poker professionals, wrapped up yesterday after several days of play at the Playground Poker Club in Montreal, Canada.
The players battled it out in six eight-handed heats before the final table and received points based on finishing position in each heat. The overall top 4 earners (Dan Colman, Jeff Gross, Sorel Mizzi, and Brian Rast) automatically qualified for the final table while the next four point earners (Jason Koon, Jonathan Duhamel, Scott Seiver, and Daniel "jungleman" Cates) had to play best-of-three heads-up matches for the last 2 spots at the 6-handed final table (Koon and Rast qualified).
