This past week, ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas hosted four PokerGO High Roller tournaments, three featuring a $10,000 buy-in and one $25,000. Combined, the events awarded $2.44 million in prize money and saw some familiar names in action including and Dan Smith, Cary Katz, Aram Zobian, who back in December crushed the high roller series at Wynn.

While all of those players had some success, none managed to capture titles. Here’s a look at those who found high roller success at ARIA last week.

Spain’s Sergi Reixach Wins Event #1

On Sunday, March 7, Event #1: $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em attracted 32 entries and offered up a $320,000 prize pool. That was paid out to the top five finishers and saw Spain’s Sergi Reixach, who you might recall won the 2019 Poker Masters Event #8: $25,000 NLHE for $369,000, claim the title and $108,120 after a deal with Dan Colpoys, who banked $103,080.

Reixach notched back-to-back cashes after finishing in sixth place for $23,400, as did Sean Perry, who followed up his fifth-place finish in Event #1 by taking third in Event #2 for $62,400.

In the end, Barry Hutter bested Austria’s Mario Mosbock in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $140,400 first-place prize.
