The 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany €50,000 no-limit hold’em super high roller featured a €1 million guarantee, which was blown out of the water when 47 total entries were made to bring the final prize pool to €2,232,500 ($2,763,522 USD). The lion’s share of that money was ultimately awarded to Chi Zhang, who emerged victorious with the title and the top prize of €800,000 ($990,288 USD).
