Elio Fox<\/strong> has $565,500 reasons to be happy this morning thanks to him coming out on top of a star-studded field in the huge $25,500 Super High Roller<\/strong> event. It\u2019s the Canada-based New Yorker\u2019s largest-ever online cash!<\/p>\n

WPT #32 \u2013 Super High Roller: $2M Gtd<\/h2>\n

There were 87 entries in the $25,500 Super High Roller<\/strong>, which meant a $2,175,000 prize pool was created. The top 13 finishers claimed a slice of this money so spare a thought for Ilya Anatski<\/strong> whose tournament ended in 14th place.<\/p>\n

Anatski\u2019s exit locked up at least $54,375 for the surviving players. The likes of Elias Talvitie<\/strong>, Dario Sammartino<\/strong>, Linus Loeliger<\/strong><\/a> and Sam Greenwood<\/strong> secured some prize money for their huge investment, the latter bursting the final table bubble.<\/p>\n

Andrii Novak<\/strong> of Ukraine was the first player to bust from the final table. Eighth-place weighed in at $76,125. Novak gained some company on the sidelines by Chris Hunichen<\/strong> whose $87,000 prize was the last one not to be six-figures.<\/p>\n

Timothy Adams<\/strong><\/a> loves these super high roller events, he laps them up. This one didn\u2019t end in victory, however, Adams had to make do with the $108,750 sixth-place prize instead.<\/p>\n

Ireland\u2019s Mark Davis<\/strong> walked away with $152,250 after an impressive fifth-place finish before Samuel Vousden<\/strong><\/a> saw his tournament end in fourth, a finish worth $195,750. Heads-up was set when Vousden\u2019s fellow Finn, Pauli Ayras<\/strong>, crashed out in third for a $282,750 prize.<\/p>\n

Fox locked horns with Juan Pardo<\/strong> and he got the job done without the need to deal. Fox banked $565,500 for his victory, leaving Pardo to scoop $402,375.<\/p>\n

WPT #31 \u2013 8-Max: $500K Gtd<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Viktor Ustimov<\/strong> won his second WPT Online Series title when he triumphed in the $500K Gtd 8-Max<\/strong> event. Ustimov turned his $1,575 into a cool $127,520 to go with the $62,104 he won last Sunday after victory in the $1,050 Mix-Max Turbo Bounty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ustimov defeated Swedish sensation Jerry Odeen<\/strong> heads-up in this tournament to bank the top prize and another WPT title. Odeen consoled himself with an impressive runner-up finish that weighed in at $90,786.<\/p>\n

Shout out to Samuel Vousden<\/strong> who helped himself to the $15,897 seventh-place prize on the same day he finished fourth in the Super High Roller for $195,750.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

WPT #34 \u2013 6-Max Hyper: $100K Gtd<\/h2>\n

Stuart Menzies<\/strong> overcame a tough final table to become the 6-Max Hyper champion. Kamel Mokhammad<\/strong>\u2019s fifth-place exit was sandwiched between two talented Canadians in Francois Billard<\/strong> and Guillaume Nolet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Third-place went to Hungarian grinder Bernard Larabi<\/strong>, a finish worth $12,507, which left Menzies and Swedish superstar Anton Wigg<\/strong> to battle it out one-on-one for the title.<\/p>\n

Wigg is no stranger to heads-up battles but he fell at the final hurdle this time around. Second-place was worth $17,592 which left Menzies to pad his bankroll with $26,672.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

WPT Online Series Leaderboard Top 10<\/h2>\n

Norbert Szecsi<\/strong><\/a> is the man in pole position for the $11,000 PP LIVE Passport<\/strong>, but there\u2019s still some distance to go plus the chasing pack is hot on his heels.<\/p>\n

Players earn points by cashing in WPT Online Series events and there are tons of points waiting to be won. It\u2019s difficult to predict how many entrants the $5 million guaranteed WPT Online Championship<\/strong> will have, but if it reaches 3,000, almost 450-leaderboard points go to the champion! It\u2019s never too late to try and climb the leaderboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
