Team partypoker\u2019s Isaac Haxton<\/strong><\/a> saw his bankroll swell by more than $430,000 on June 14 courtesy of the superstar taking down the $25,500 buy-in High Roller Club Main Event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

High Roller Club: Main Event $1M Gtd<\/h2>\n

A field of 46 players bought into the Sunday edition of the High Roller Club Main Event<\/strong>, a $25,500 buy-in affair with a seven-figure guarantee. The top six finishers won a share of the $1,150,000 prize pool, with our hero Haxton banking the largest sum of the weekend.<\/p>\n

Some of the world\u2019s elite grinders entered this tournament but left empty-handed. These included Russian man of the moment Artur Martirosian<\/strong>, Germany star Ole Schemion<\/strong>, and partypoker LIVE regular Sam Greenwood<\/strong>. Estonia\u2019s Aleksejs Ponakovs<\/strong> was the unfortunate soul who finished in seventh place, bursting the money bubble, and locking up $57,500 for the six surviving players.<\/p>\n

Blom First Main Event Player to Cash<\/h2>\n

Swedish legend Viktor Blom<\/strong><\/a> was the first Main Event player to see a return on their investment. Blom came unstuck in sixth-place for $57,500 when he pushed under the gun for five big blinds with and Haxton called on the button with . The board was no help for Blom and his tournament ended.<\/p>\n

George Wolff<\/strong> busted in fifth for $80,500 after losing a battle of the blinds with Wiktor Malinowkski<\/strong>. Malinowski raised all in from the small blind with and Wolff called off his remaining 10 big blinds with . An ace on the flop was enough to reduce the player count by one.<\/p>\n

Malinowski was the next player to fall despite picking up Wolff\u2019s stack. It was something of a cooler hand for a four-handed table that sent Malinowski home. Malinowski raised to 3,000,000 on the button leaving himself a shade over 600,000 chips behind. He made the raise with . Sergi Reixach<\/strong> called in the small blind with . A flop saw Reixach jam and Malinowski call in what was a very expensive cooler hand.<\/p>\n

You need a lot of luck to win a poker tournament and Haxton must have known this as his event when he sent Pascal Lefrancois<\/strong><\/a> home in third in dramatic circumstances. Haxton open-shoved from the small blind with and Lefrancois called off his last 15 big blinds with the dominating . Lefrancois looked set for a double when the flop fell . The turn gave Haxton outs to a diamond flush, but it was the that improved his hand and sent his Canadian opponent to the showers.<\/p>\n

Haxton and Reixach Lock Horns Heads-Up<\/h2>\n

Haxton held a 31,209,500 to 14,790,500 lead over Reixach going into the one-on-one battle with blinds at 200,000\/400,000\/50,000a. Despite this, it still took more than an hour to settle the tournament.<\/p>\n

The final hand saw Haxton set Reixach all-in for his last 4.25 big blinds with and the UK-based Spaniard called with . A final board reading sealed the deal for Haxton and he bagged a cool $437,000 leaving Reixach to secure the $287,500 runner-up prize.<\/p>\n

Haxton went on to cash in the $5,200 buy-in $1 million guaranteed Big Game<\/strong>. Some 229-players were involved on the final day and 32 of those won at least $11,049.<\/p>\n

Former MILLIONS Online<\/strong><\/a> champion Jon Van Fleet<\/strong><\/a> was the bubble boy in this event, paving the way for the likes of Patrick Leonard<\/strong>, Josip Simunic<\/strong>, Niklas Astedt<\/strong>, Christian Jeppsson<\/strong>, and Artur Martirosian<\/strong> to cash.<\/p>\n

Wiktor Malinowski<\/strong> reached the Main Event final table and this event\u2019s too. The German won $24,436 for his eighth-place exit. Haxton then fell by the wayside in seventh for $32,936. Haxton\u2019s teammate, Dzmitry Urbanovich<\/strong>, managed to hold firm until fifth-place, which netted him $58,435.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Pablo Brito Silva<\/strong> of Brazil, winner of the partypoker LIVE South America Main Event<\/strong><\/a> and the 2020 Irish Open Online Main Event<\/strong><\/a>, defeated Andrew Pantling<\/strong> heads-up for the title and the $216,635 top prize.<\/p>\n

Badziakouski Second in the Mix-Max<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Haxton almost cashed again when he entered the $10,300 Mix-Max 2nd Chance<\/strong>, but he was the unfortunate bubble boy, busting in 10th. His fellow Team partypoker member Jason Koon<\/strong> banked a $23,636 prize, while Reixach and Blom also cashed.<\/p>\n

By the time heads-up was reached, Mikita Badziakouski<\/strong><\/a> and Thomas Muehloecker<\/strong> were both guaranteed six-figure hauls. Sadly, for Badziakouski at least, he had to make do with the smaller $146,250 runner-up prize. This meant Muehloecker banked the $224,840 top prize only a couple of weeks after triumphing in the Big Game!<\/a><\/p>\n
