A player called "Betudontbet", from Mexico, won and received $382,855! Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver , who finished 2nd in PCA last year, came second and got $285,310.

Another exciting tournament that was played yesterday was the $2100 High Roller event. Icallany, from norway, took home this event and received amazing $210,070. But still he received less than the runner-up, AlexKP, because of a deal the last 4 players agreed on. The other 2 players received about $170k each.
