Jake Schindler is the Partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Grand Final €100K Super High Roller Champion
The highest buy-in tournament of the 2018 Partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Grand Final Barcelona has come to its end, with the high-roller regular taking it down. Jake beat one of the biggest winners of 2018, Stephen Chidwick. The American pro outlasted a field of 48 to win the €1,750,000 first prize.
The final day of the two-day tournament started with 11 players and since there were only 6 places paid, none of them was guaranteed a dime for their efforts yet. The first player to leave the tables was Germany's Dominik Nitsche, who lost a coin flip with sevens against the Ace-jack of Partypoker's Team Pro, Jason Koon. He was followed by fellow German grinder, Koray Aldemir and the unofficial final table of 9 was set.
Online high-stakes boss Mikia "fish2013" Badziakouski was the first to bust on the final table. Mikita found himself on the wrong side of a huge cooler, holding Ace-king against Bryn Kenney, who got dealt pocket aces. The last member of the German crew, Steffen Sontheimer finished 8th. He also played a coin flip, against Chidwick for his last chips.

The flop was pretty safe for Chidwick, as he flopped quads, while Sontheimer was out of the competition.
The bubble burst when Keith Tilston lost a race with pocket sixes against Jason Koon, who had King-seven and managed to spike a seven on the turn, meaning all of the remaining six players were guaranteed a €240K min-cash. Poker veteran, Erik Seidel was the next player to leave, after being unable to outdraw the Ace-ten of Chidwick's with Ace-five. Bryn followed Erik soon after. He fell victim of Schindler's. Stephen Chidwick finished off Jason Koon, reducing a field to only three.
Founder of Bioderma, Jean-Noel Thorel of France was trying to battle it out against the pros but eventually fell in 3rd place, booking his second six-figure score in Barcelona. The talented recreational player has now almost $4 million in career earnings (we're talking about poker only, guys).
A two-hour battle started between the two high-rollers, who were both guaranteed a seven-figure score, but the €650,000 difference between first and second was probably a good reason not to lean back. Jake finally managed to overcome his peer in a hand that started with 175K/350K blinds. Schindler opened to 875K and Chidwick called.
On the flop of the latter check/called 500K and check-raised the turn. Jake called.
The on the river was good enough for Stephen to move in and Jake decided to call it off. All Chidwick had was a Queen-high () while Schindler had a straight with .
The champion increased his total earnings to $17,771,578 wit this €1.75 million win, while the Englishman has more than $14 million in total cashes.
