High Roller Final Table
High Roller Final Table

The most expensive tournament on the schedule of the 2024 SunBet Poker Tour Pretoria stop in August is the ZAR50,000 High Roller, a three-day tournament which kicked off on Tuesday, August 6. A total of 51 entries generated a prize pool of ZAR2,142,000 ($116,210) and Day 2 concluded upon completion of level 15. By then, only seven players remained on the stone money bubble.

Leading the way was Greek business owner Costa Giannakopoulos, who is based in the nearby Tanzania, as he bagged up 3,990,000 in chips. Gavin Sardini, who reached the final table of the Main Event here in March, advanced with 3,255,000. "Ben" (2,940,000) and Ahmed Karrim (2,840,000) were separated by two big blinds only while Max Deveson (1,075,000) and Nico Wiechers (835,000) were shorter than that.

However, the bottom stack belonged to David Ng from Mauritius, who returned with just 370,000 and a mountain to climb at blinds of 25,000/50,000 and a big blind ante of 50,000.
