Isaac Haxton<\/strong><\/a> became a High Roller Big Game<\/strong><\/a> champion on October 25 and saw his bankroll swell by a cool $120,354. Victory in these tournaments is never a simple task because they attract some of the best players in the world. Haxton never plays scared and that certainly showed in this weekend\u2019s event as he shone and emerged as a worthy winner.<\/p>\n

Only 16 of the 100 entrants received a slice of the $502,000 prize pool and it was one of our own who burst the money bubble. Roberto Romanello<\/strong><\/a> fell in 17th place and was the last player to go home empty-handed.<\/p>\n

British duo Rob Yong<\/strong> and Tom Hall<\/strong> were the first players to cash, each collected $10,040. Justin Bonomo<\/strong><\/a> was another star who saw a return on their investment. As was Artur Martirosian<\/strong><\/a> and Juan Pardo<\/strong>, the latter bursting the final table bubble.<\/p>\n

Steve O\u2019Dwyer<\/strong> and the Swedish legend Niklas Astedt<\/strong><\/a> were the final table\u2019s first casualties. Carl Lie<\/strong>, Christoph Vogelsang<\/strong>, and the high roller specialist Ole Schemion<\/strong> joined that pair on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Matthias Eibinger<\/strong> fell in third and left Haxton to fight it out with Joao Vieira<\/strong><\/a> heads-up. Haxton proved too strong for Vieira and he brushed him aside to claim the $120,354 top prize, which resigned Vieira to an $86,268 consolation prize.<\/p>\n

WPT500 champion Fabio Sperling<\/strong><\/a> is now also a Big Game<\/strong> champion after coming out on top in this weekend\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

Sperling saw his $530 buy-in turn into a massive $48,190 after defeating Canada-based Australian Stevan Chew<\/strong> heads-up. Chew had to make do with the $34,323 second-place prize, which is still a very healthy return on a $530 investment.<\/p>\n

Plenty of other big names made it to the final table, including Andras Nemeth<\/strong><\/a>, Sergei Denisov<\/strong>, David Lopez<\/strong>, and Alexandros Theologis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
