A pair of super high roller events were held at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas over the past weekend. When the dust settled, two high-stakes tournament regulars had come away with the titles and massive top-prize payouts.
The first six-figure buy-in tournament on the agenda was the ARIA High Roller 26. The event cost $100,000 to play. A total of 22 entries were made, building a prize pool of $2.2 million. In the end, four players made the money, with the largest share going to World Series of Poker bracelet winner and 2018 Card Player Player of the Year award winner Jake Schindler. He earned $655,000 and 360 POY as the champion of this event.
This was Schindler’s third title and 13th POY-qualified final table of the year. With 2,571 points and $2,426,644 in year-to-date earnings, Schindler now sits in 25th place in the 2021 POY race, which is sponsored by Global Poker. The 32-year-old poker pro also secured 197 PokerGO Tour rankings points for the win. His 1,481 total points are enough to put him inside the top 10 on the PokerGO Tour leaderboard.
Two-time bracelet winner Nick Petrangelo took home $625,000 and 300 points as the runner-up, while Seth Davies and Stephen Chidwick both earned $460,000 for their third and fourth-place showings, respectively.
