Christoph Vogelsang is the 2017 Super High Roller Bowl champion, and $6m richer, after beating Jake Schindler in a five-hour heads-up marathon.

In the past four years, Christoph Vogelsang has competed in the highest buy-in live tournaments without ever winning a single title.

That all changed dramatically after the German pro, overcame a 2:1 chip deficit (twice) to defeat the overwhelming favourite Jake Schindler in heads-up action to bank the $6m first prize, and his first live tournament title, in the 2017 Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB).

Schindler will need some time to get over this one. The American had Vogelsang out on his feet on two separate occasions only for the river to come flooding in and drown him each time.
