For the past week, the Montesino Casino in Vienna, Austria, has played host to the PartyPoker Premier League V.

On Tuesday, Scott Seiver emerged victorious to captured the $500,000 first-place prize.

After a number of rounds over the last week, six of the eight final-table participants were determined, leaving just two spots up for grabs. Even though six players had earned their spots outright and another six were eliminated from contention, four players were left to compete in a series of playoff heads-up matches on Monday for the last two seats in Tuesday's finale. It was there that Phil Laak defeated Andy Frankenberger in the Group A best-of-three heads-up match, and Tom Dwan bested Yevgeniy Timoshenko in the Group B playoff. With that, the final table was set.
