Tom Marchese Wins Aria $100,000 Super High Roller

Tom Marchese emerged victorious in the second $100,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em super high roller event hosted by Aria Resort & Casino, topping a tough field of 22 players to capture his tenth career title and the $1,306,800 first-place prize.

Marchese, who won the Card Player Player of the Year award in 2010, now has over $7.5 million in live tournament earnings. In June he placed third in another six-figure buy-in event at the Bellagio for $1,465,451. Now with this latest win his year-to-date earnings exceed $2.7 million and he has climbed into 135th place in the Player of the Year race standings.

Joining Marchese in the money in this event were runner-up Cary Katz (2nd – $653,400) and Brian Rast (3rd- $217,800). Andrew Robl was eliminated on the six-figure money bubble when he ran the K 9 into Rast’s KQ and was unable to come from behind.

Other notables to participate in the event include POY contenders Jake Schindler and Doug Polk, as well as high-roller regulars Phillipp Gruissem, Igor Kurganov, Joseph Cheong, Roger Sippl and David Sands.

Here is a look at the payouts and POY points awarded at this final table:
