After nearly ten hours of play, Ludovic 'Gr4vyB04t' Geilich took down Event #30: Super High Roller $25,500, $2.5M Gtd. for $635,080. Geilich made it through the 127 player field to get heads up with Belgian grinder Bert Stevens, who is perhaps better known as 'girafganger7'.

High Roller can mean: 1. A player that frequently plays in high-stakes tournaments and cash games. Tournaments with very high buy-ins (usually $25,000 and more). 2013 WSOPE €25,600 High Roller No Limit Hold'em Since turning professional at the age of 22, Negreanu has become one of the most successful and recognizable players in poker. He has won 6 WSOP bracelets, is 2nd on the all-time WSOP money list, and is the only 2-time WSOP Player of the Year winner.

The two cut a deal before heads-up play when Stevens had slightly more chips than Geilich, meaning Stevens actually earned slightly more than Geilich despite finishing second.

Geilich is no stranger to big results. With more than $3 million in earnings on the live felt and more than $4 million in the virtual arena, Geilich is one of the best in the world no matter where the cards are dealt. The $635K he earned from this event represents his biggest score either live or online, eclipsing both the $300K+ score he earned live in 2013 at EPT London for 4th place, as well as his $462,182 win in 2016's WCOOP-70: $21,000 PL Omaha [6-Max, High-Roller].

The Day's Action

Event #30: Super High Roller $25,500, $2.5M Gtd. got underway at 3 p.m. Eastern time with five hours of late registration. By the time the registration window was closed, 127 entries swelled the prize pool to $3,175,000, more than 25% above the guarantee.

There were still 44 players left at the tables when registration closed, fighting for 17 paid spots. It took a little over an hour before Seth Davies was eliminated on the money bubble after getting it in good with kings over queens, but then losing out to Finland's Sami Kelopuro when a queen hit the river.

Along the way, big-name players like Isaac Haxton and Mikita Badziakouski lost their chips just before the money, as did Chi Zhang, who fired six bullets in this one before busting near the money bubble.

Just over an hour passed before they were down to the final table. Wiktor Malinowski, better known on the online cash streets as 'limitless', was the unfortunate player to bubble the final table. He lost a race with eights to Geilich's ace-king when the Scotsman flopped a king.

That set up a final table that took just over two hours to complete. Among the big names to make the final table were American David Coleman (8th for $102,648), Finnish player Kelopuro (7th for $135,992), and Canadian Daniel Dvoress (5th for $238,691).

They played four-handed for about an hour, even trying to cut an ICM deal at one point that was rejected by 'hashtag_fold', before David Yan became the next casualty when his king-seven couldn't hold against the queen-seven of Stevens, and that opened the floodgates. 'hashtag_fold' followed Yan to the exit immediately after, and after Stevens and Geilich cut a deal heads up, they only played two hands before Geilich took it down.

The deal was cut at the start of heads-up play when Stevens had the slight edge in chips. That gave Stevens the biggest payout at the end, $655,298 to $635,080 for Geilich, but it was Geilich who got the official win.

High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story is a 2003 biopic focusing on the life of American professional poker and gin player Stu Ungar. Stuey is the film's alternate title. The film features cameos from several figures from the world of professional sports and poker, including Vince Van Patten, Andy Glazer and Al Bernstein.

Plot[edit]

High Roller is told in flashback. Ungar (Michael Imperioli), in a motel room on the last night of his life, relates his personal story to a stranger (Michael Pasternak). He speaks of growing up as the son of a bookie, his career as a tournament gin player, moving into poker, his marriage and the birth of his daughter Stefanie, cocaine abuse, and the breakup of his marriage. The film climaxes with Ungar's third victory at the Main Event of the World Series of Poker a year before his passing. In the final scene, Ungar departs the motel room with the stranger (who apparently represents the Grim Reaper).
