The $250,000 buy-in Super High Roller was the most expensive tournament on the entire WSOP schedule in Las Vegas, and it drew 75 entries for a prize pool of $18,675,000. Of that amount, $5,415,152 awaited the winner.
A total of 14 players played for that prize in the final table of the night, and 12 of them made it to the ITM. Min cash of $506,757 went to names like, Jonathan Jaffe (12th), Phil Ivey (11th) and Adrian Mateos (10th). The final table featured names like Jeremy Ausmus, Santhosh Suvarna, Chris Hunichen, Matthias Eibinger, Ben Tollerene and Mikita Badziakouski.
Chris Hunichen could have won his second bracelet in a matter of days. However, that didn't happen, as he took third place. The final heads-up match went to the dreaded online player Ben Tollerene and Indian casino entrepreneur Santhosh Suvarna. It was Suvarna who was able to win the tournament, earning himself a full winner's bounty and the second bracelet of his career.
