Chip leader “¿¿toneecho??” has been a regular in the PokerStars High Roller Club of late, with a victory in the $530 Omania and a runner-up finish in the $530 Bounty Builder High Roller under their belt.

Andras “probirs” Nemeth

They’re closely followed by a more recognisable entity in Hungary’s Andras “Probirs” Nemeth, a long-time crusher and multiple-time no.1 ranked player in the online tournament world. Nemeth has won just about everything there is to win online.

Other big names from the world of online poker still in contention include Christian ‘eisenhower1’ Jeppsson, Christoph “26071985” Vogelsang, Francisco “Tomatee” Benitez, and Sam “SamSquid” Grafton.

A staple in High Rollers, Jeppsson recently proved he still has the stomach for lower buy-in, massive-field took events when he took down the Sunday Million in February for $111,769.63, outlasting 10,890 others. He returns tonight fourth in chips.

Christoph “26071986” Vogelsang

You’ll no doubt be familiar with Christoph “26071986” Vogelsang, a high stakes cash player turned live super high roller crusher with $25 million in live earnings. He sits in the middle of the pack.

Benitez, meanwhile, is a multiple Spring Championship of Online Poker champion who has an online résumé anyone would be proud of. Just a couple of days ago he won a High Rollers Series event for $39,550 plus $61,593 in bounties.

Sam “SamSquid” Grafton

Likewise, Grafton has been in fine form of late, winning the High Roller Club’s $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up last weekend for $23,504.

Who will win the title and $463K? We’ll find out tonight.
