Some 202 players parted company with $5,200 in the latest High Roller, which ensured the $1 million guarantee was surpassed. Thirty-two places were paid and two members of Team partypoker made it into the money places.

Ludovic Geilich fell in 20th for $12,625 with Kristen Bicknell busting in 11th for $17,978.

Some of the other stars who cashed included Patrik Antonius, Ole Schemion, Mike Watson, and Manig Loeser.

Jans Arends was the final table’s first casualty. He was joined on the sidelines by Rob Lipkin, Alexander Ivarsson and superstar Nick Petrangelo.
