  4. 1239

Earlier in the week, we reported on Sylvain Loosli winning the EPT Monte Carlo €10,300 High Roller. Since then, three more high roller events have concluded with big names taking down some serious prize money. Sergio Aido took down the EPT Monte Carlo €100,000 Super High Roller for $1.77 million.

Meanwhile, Timothy Adams took down the €25,000 Single-Day High Roller while Matthias Eibinger Won the €50,000 Single-Day High Roller. Alex Foxen and Charlie Carrel also played well, each making two final tables.

Sergio Aido Wins €100k Super High Roller

The first of three high rollers concluded on Monday with Sergio Aido winning the €100,000 EPT Monte Carlo Super High Roller. The event drew 52 entries and had a prize pool of $5.62 million.

The final day of play saw nine players return and Koray Aldemir was the unfortunate bubble boy, finishing in eight. Among those finishing in the money were Charlie Carrel, Mikita Badziakouski, Sam Greenwood, and Daniel Dvoress.

Ultimately, it was Sergio Aido and Jesus Cortes heads-up for the title. Aido had a massive chip lead heads-up and the two played it out to a winner. It didn’t take long before Aido walked away with the title. Cortes walked away with $1.28 million for second while Aido won $1.77 million for first place.

Timothy Adams Wins €25k Single-Day High Roller

The €25k Single-Day High Roller played out on Monday as well with the single-day event drawing 83 total entries. The final 11 made the money with €100k High Roller winner Sergio Aido finishing as the bubble boy.

The final table of six was stacked with Isaac Haxton, Charlie Carrel, Alex Foxen, Sean Winter, and Timothy Adams. Carrel made his second straight final table but only managed a fourth-place finish in this one, good for $220k.

In the end, it was Sean Winter and Timothy Adams battling for the title. Adams had been nursing a short stack the entire final table and once the pair reached heads-up, he doubled three times. However, the fourth time was the charm for Adams.

Adams managed to ladder his way to a $435,573 payday while Adams won the title and $612,698. This was Adams’ third straight high roller win this year. He won a $50k High Roller at the PCA in January and in March he won the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju Main Event title for $3.56 million.

Matthias Eibinger Wins €50k Single-Day High Roller

On Tuesday, the €50,000 Single-Day High Roller played out, drawing a field of 36 entries. The final eight were paid with Seth Davies, Christopher Soyza, and Ben Heath all making a payday. Alex Foxen managed to make his second straight final table and this time around, he got heads-up in the event against Matthias Eibinger.

Both players thought heads-up would take a while, but it ended up only taking three hands. Eibinger took the chip lead on the first hand and on the third, the rest of Foxen’s chips went into the middle with pocket fours. Eibinger had A-J and spiked a jack on the flop to take the lead and eventually the hand.

Alex Foxen continues to play well in high roller events, this time taking down $679,811. He’s won $855k so far in this series and moved over $11 million in career live tournament earnings. Eibinger earned $942,495 for the victory and is just shy of $1 million in earnings for the series. His win took him over $6 million in career live tournament earnings.

There are still a couple of $25k High Rollers left in this series, so we will likely seen a couple more large six to seven-figure prizes awarded by the end of the series.
