“Mr.Eleven11” was crowned the $1,575 buy-in High Roller champion and victory came with a princely sum. The champion walked away with a combined prize of $44,438, thanks in part to securing seven bounties along the way.

“nonothx” was one of those bounties, the tournament’s runner-up. Second-place came in at $22,507 with bounty prizes included. Amazingly, the third-place finisher padded their partypoker bankroll with more money than our runner-up!

“jsmackers” was busy sending opponents to the rail, doing so on 11 occasions. This resulted in their $12,070 third-place prize being bolstered by a cool $11,695 worth of bounty payments for a total prize worth $23,765.

At the complete opposite end of the spectrum was “GylbertFDI” who managed to finish in fourth place without busting a single opponent! They collected $8,203 for their efforts.
