2020 Poker Masters Online
With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing shutdowns around the world, live poker was on hiatus and operators were forced to think outside the box for running events. Many opted to create online versions of live poker series, and that's exactly what happened with the Poker Masters. In a partnership with partypoker, there were two Poker Masters online events held. The first was the 30-event Poker Masters Online, and the second was a pot-limit Omaha version, the 16-event Poker Masters Online PLO.
The 2020 Poker Masters Online took place April 12-26, 2020, on partypoker. It was a heated battle for the 2020 Poker Masters Online leaderboard, but in the end Greek player Alexandros Kolonias finished on top to win the Purple Jacket. Kolonias won two of the series’ 30 events and cashed 11 times, picking up $1,266,296 in winnings.
Kolonias had to really work for the leaderboard win, as Artur Martirosian and Linus Loeliger also performed very well over the course of the series. Although Martirosian didn’t win an event, he did have three runner-up finishes and nine cashes. In fact, Martirosian was atop the leaderboard entering the final event of the series and Kolonias had to win to surpass him. Like Kolonias, Loeliger won two events. Loeliger had a third cash as well.
When it was all said and done, Kolonias’ 1,191 leaderboard points were enough to top Martirosian’s 1,048 and Loeliger’s 1,037.
