German Steffen Sontheimer emerged as the top winner in partypoker's Caribbean Poker Party $250,000 buy-in NLHE Super High Roller Championship, earning a humongous $3,685,000 cash prize which is by far his biggest ever live tourney score.
The event drew in 34 players with a prizepool of over $7.5 million. However, only 4 players would end up getting a payout.
On the final day of the event, there were only six players remaining: Nick Petrangelo, partypoker ambassador Isaac Haxton, Mikita Badziakouski, David Peters, Sean Winter and Steffen Sontheimer.
On the final hand, it was Sontheimer versus Winter.
Sontheimer got A-K of hearts
Winter got A-Q offsuit
The board ran 10-5-3-4-9 (with 3, 4 and 9 being hearts), thereby making Sontheimer the winner, with Winter being sent to the rail as runner-up with still a fairly plump sum of cash.
This is currently Sontheimer's biggest payday in his poker career and his third time to score in the seven-figure range.
He won first place for $1,512,000 in Poker Masters Event #5 back in September 2017.
He finished runner-up and took home $1,223,264 in the Aria Super High Roller19 back in May 2017.
At just 28 years old, Sontheimer now stands at 6th place (previously 12th) in the Germany All Time Money List.
