The $109 Sunday Party saw 1,353 PartyPoker players buy in and create a $135,300 prize pool, which was much larger than the advertised $125,000 guarantee. The main beneficiary of the chunky prize pool was “cow breeder” courtesy of them coming out on top and raking in a $13,801 score, including bounties.

The Sunday Party is a popular progressive knockout event that you can win your way into from as little as $0.01. It is still great value even if you pay the full $109 buy-in. All but one of the nine finalists netted four-figure prizes, while the top two finishers banked scores in excess $10,000. Not bad for a few hours’ work.
