The final €25,000 buy-in saw 43 entries build a $1,092,269 prize pool. Bracelet winner Santhosh Suvarna was the last player standing. He took home $376,769 after defeating Samuel Ju heads-up for the title.

Suvarna has already accrued more than $7 million in tournament earnings across his first 27 in-the-money finishes.

Chris Brewer, who finished runner-up in the €50,0000 buy-in event earlier this series, placed fourth in this tournament for $125,604. The score saw him surpass $22 million in career earnings.

The €10,300 buy-in no-limit hold’em high roller that ran from Feb. 23-25 attracted 512 entries, building a prize pool of more than $5.3 million. Germany’s Oliver Weis came away with the title and $1,047,816.

This was the first seven-figure score for Weis, blowing away his previous top payday of $406,900 earned for taking down a high roller at the 2017 PokerStars Championship Macau stop. His career earnings now exceed $3.6 million.

Weis was also awarded 2,100 POY points for the win. This was his first deep run of the year, but it was sufficient to move him into third place in the POY rankings.
