While much of the attention has been on the MILLIONS World Main Event in The Bahamas this weekend, other big results rounded out the action, with high roller victories giving us two more winners as the $10,000 and $25,000 buy-in events saw Norbert Szecsi and Wai Leong Chan both lift trophies.
With the MILLIONS Main Event crowning Spanish poker legend Adrian Mateos its winner on Sunday, the $25,000 Super High Roller event saw Wai Leong Chan take the title, improving on his earlier result in the Caribbean Poker Party schedule.
Just a few days earlier, Chan had been runner-up to Daniel Dvoress in the $250,000-entry Super High Roller Bowl at the Baha Mar Resort. But having got so close, Chan finally bagged the victory, and did so in style.
Only seven players of the nine who took their seats would finish in the money, and it would be one of the most famous faces in poker who left without getting paid. Phil Ivey and Fabrizio Gonzalez were the players who missed the money, but as soon as the bubble burst, Kristen Bicknell, Rob Hollink and Jason Koon busted in fairly sharp succession.
