Tom Marchese has banked himself a tidy profit of $600,000+ after winning back-to-back $25,000 High Roller events at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Did you know that there is an event called The Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake? It’s an annual event held in Gloucester, over the Spring Bank Holiday, and it’s a race to catch a 9lb round of Double Gloucester cheese as it’s rolled down a hill.

Did you also know that there is an event called The Aria $25,000 High Roller? It’s a poker game where men, and women, who can afford a $25,000 buy-in, sit down and play cards.

What do the two have in common?

They both involve Big Cheese on a roll.

Tom “BigCheese_Poker” Marchese has just finished at the top of the pile of both the Aria $25,000 High Roller II and III in Las Vegas. It’s a perfect start to a year that follows on from his most successful.

In 2014, Marchese banked over $4.4m, including three seven figure scores, one of which came in September when he was victorious in the $100,000 Super High Roller event also at The Aria. He begins 2015 with over $600,000+ in profit after topping fields of 41 & 42 entrants, in what is fast becoming THE place to be in Vegas poker.
