Pros out in force for High Roller Club, “Fiilismies” bags over $190k in HRS Wrap-up

The (extended) High Roller Series came to its conclusion on Sunday with the PKO Wrap-up. Conor “1_conor_b_1” Beresford, winner of last week’s HRS Main Event, finished second for over $67k total.

Conor “1_conor_b” Beresford won the HRS Main Event last weekend. This time he came second in the Wrap-up

It was “Fiilismies” from Finland, a regular top finisher in HRS and SCOOP events, who came out on top. Not only that, but they did so in style. Fiilismies earned $65k for first place, also claiming over $125k in bounties for a dominant display. That’s an insane amount of knockouts. We’ll leave it up to our analytics team to report back on the exact number.

In the High Roller Club, “dodi papa” from Hungary claimed first place in the Saturday Bounty Builder for a total of $70k, a touch more than their previous biggest ever win in the Winter Series.

The Sunday HR Bounty Builder was a two-day event with $1 million guaranteed. SCOOP winner and High Roller regular “clapjkspit” from Hungary came first for $89,421, also claiming $47,127 in bounties. “Damsbo2604” from Denmark took second place for $89k, plus $16,663 in bounties.

Prolific Italian pro Mustapha “lasagnaaammm” Kanit, earned $49.6k in the HR Sunday Wrap-up. This would top most player’s lists, but Kanit has finished strongly in WCOOP and even has a $1.3 million SCOOP Main Event win to his name. Pocket money it may be, but still a decent win.

In the HR Supersonic, “elhilario” from Argentina and “dantegoyaf” from Brazil chopped the pot evenly heads up. Both took $34.7k for the split, before elhilario bagged the extra cent (and bragging rights) for first place.

This wasn’t the only win of the evening for dantegoyaf. They also took down the $530 Omaha event, adding a further $12k to their weekend total.

Also among those to pick up wins in the HRC were “suequinh23” from Ecuador, “rencai268” from Thailand, and Romanian pro “steakaddict.”.
