Veldhuis came out on top in the Stadium Series Heat 16-H: $2,100 NLHE, a tournament with $500,000 guaranteed. Tournaments of this magnitude attract the superstars of poker and this event was no different with the entry list reading like a who’s who of the poker world.

Antoine “A.Saout” Saout, Joao “IneedMassari” Simao, Anatoly “NL_Profit” Filatov, and Dominik “Bounatirou” Nitsche were just a handful of the players who made it into the top 31 places where the prize pool was distributed.

Sam “Str8$$$Homey” Greenwood and Christian “eisenhower1” Jeppsson also cashed, with Joao “Naza114” Vieira busting in 10th place and setting the final table.

Follow along with weekly PokerNews live coverage from the Stadium Series finals.

British grinder Andrew “stato_1” Hulme was the first finalist to bust and the first player to net a five-figure prize. Hulme collected $10,517. Russia’s “MiracleQ” followed Hulme to the cashier’s desk and got his hands on $13,869 before former EPT Malta champion Aliaksei “ale6ka” Boika crashed and burned in seventh-place for $18,288.

Pablo “pabritz” Brito Silva’s exit in sixth-place made the waters slightly less shark-infested. Veldhuis then tripled up when his aces held against the eights of Anton “Bomber&Granater” Wigg and the queens of Mike “SirWatts” Watson to put him in contention for the title.

Ivan “Negriin” Luca, Wigg and Fedor 'GlitchSystem' Kruse all busted in succession to leave Veldhuis heads-up against Watson. Amazingly, Veldhuis found aces again to send Luca to the showers.

The final hand saw Watson jam for a shade over 10 big blinds with ace-six and Veldhuis look him up with queen-nine of hearts. A queen landed on the turn to bust Watson and resign him to the $72,911, leaving Veldhuis to bank another $96,143 and doing so in front of his legion of Twitch followers.

Stadium Series Freezeout Weekly Final – High: $1,050 NLHE 8-Max, $1.5M Gtd

The biggest prize of the week’s Stadium Series action went to the Brazilian star Alisson “heyalisson” Piekazewicz. He triumphed over 1,346 opponents in the $1,050 buy-in Freezeout Weekly Final.

Piekazewicz turned his $1,050 into a colossal $216,705 and the title of champion. The elite Brazilian defeated fellow countryman Luan “Pseudo Fruto” Felipe heads-up for the victory, the runner-up banked $185,376.

One other player scooped a six-figure score. That was third-place finisher “Zar77262” of Russia who netted a cool $119,584.

Others who reached the final table included Daniel “Razer2311” Rezaei (9th - $18,128), Teun “tinnoemulder” Mulder (8th - $22,395), and Pascal “FrenchDawg” Lefrancois (4th - $85,694).

The tournament took place under the watchful eye of the PokerNews Live Reporting team. Read a blow-by-blow account of this massive tournament at our live reporting pages.

Stadium Series Freezeout Weekly Final – Medium: $109 NLHE 8-Max, $1.5M Gtd

The $109 weekly final was incredible value because the 11,292-strong crowd enjoyed a $370,800 overlay. This money was added by PokerStars and shared among the top 1,367 finishers.

Everyone at the eight-handed final table banked at least $18,364 for navigating their way there. Belgium’s “Pimello” got their hands on this prize and they were joined on the rail first by “fozzzi” of the Ukraine then Shane “shaniac” Schleger. This was Schleger’s first online cash at PokerStars since August 2015! The man still has skills.

“thx4yours$” and “ Chomprias 0” busted in fifth and fourth-place, the latter scooping $71,123 for their $109 investment. Russia’s “Goallinfishara” saw their tournament end in a third-place finish worth $99,775.

Heads-up pitted “CoolerAHAH” and “Hookz” against each other in a heads-up battle for the $196,355 top prize. Second-place was $139,969, more than $56,000 less so it wasn’t surprising to see the heads-up duo strike a deal. That deal saw CoolerAHAH finish in second and net $160,662 with Hookz banking $175,662.
