High Roller Club
Outside of the world of Team Pro, several elite online players showed their prowess in the High Roller Club, including “WhatIfGod” and “mararthur1”.
WhatIfGod came to our attention after winning the EPT Online Main Event in 2020, and has since then been a regular name on final tables. This weekend, the Swedish pro shipped the $1,050 Sunday Supersonic for $17,936, then came second in the $1,050 Sunday Cooldown for a total of $8,654.
Over in the Sunday HR, Russia’s mararthur1 beat “randomchu” of Indonesia heads-up to claim the top prize of $31,485.
Sunday Million and Bounty Builder HR
The Sunday Million ran for half price at the weekend, meaning players could buy in directly for $54.50. “Ktuck57” from the UK took advantage of lower cost satellites, gaining entry for $2.75 and going on to finish second place for $81,457. “Vitaop10” of Brazil outlasted the rest, finishing first in the SM for $113,308.
In the Bounty Builder HR, also running for two days, Russian player “needdollarz”, who’s poker record includes a Sunday Million win, came first for a total of $52,005 (inc. $23k bounties).
