The United Kingdom’s Chris Moorman is one of online poker’s biggest winners with more than $16.7 million in earnings. On November 29, he added another quarter of a million dollars to his bankroll after taking down the High Roller MILLION$ at GGPoker.

Some 491 players made it through to the final day and 350 of those returnees walked away with a share of the $1,659,500 prize pool. The likes of Bryan Paris, Pascal Hartmann, Niklas Astedt, Andras Nemeth, Daniel Dvoress, and Andrey Pateychuk cashed but it was Moorman who excelled.

All nine finalists guaranteed themselves $14,289, the prize awarded to “cbkme” when they crashed out in ninth place. “guysneves” and Poland’s “KennyKaarten” were the next casualties, they banked $20,854 and $30,435 respectively.

Seth Davies claimed the $44,418 sixth-place prize before “Oye Como Va” of India locked up a $64,825 score. The final five-figure prize went to “shreeOHM” whose fourth-place finish saw a $94,608 haul land in their GGPoker account.

One of two Brazilian to reach the top three, “donkey”, fell in third for $138,073 to leave Moorman and donkey’s fellow Brazilian “SolverJail” heads-up. A deal was struck that saw SolverJail win $243,769 and Moorman win yet another major online poker tournament plus $251,828 in prize money.

Dario Sammartino Secures $100,466 Prize

Dario Sammartino is $100,466 richer than at the start of the weekend courtesy of triumphing in the $5,250 buy-in High Rollers Blade Closer.

A compact field of 58 entrants meant only the final seven finishers won some of the $290,000 prize money, Daniel Hindin being the player who reached the final table but went home empty-handed.

Anatoly Filatov’s seventh-place finish saw the Russian collect $12,037 before Stephen Chidwick and Alex Kolonias fell by the wayside, passing the cashier on their way home to get their hands on $16,675 and $23,098 prizes.

Daniel Dvoress continued his impressive form at GGPoker with a fourth-place finish worth $31,997. “danludan” of Russia crashed in third for $44,324, leaving Seth Davies and Sammartino to fight it out one-on-one for the title.

Sammartino got the job done and was worth of his $100,466 haul. Davies consoled himself with a $61,399 runner-up prize.
