High roller champions crowned in Prague

14

2017 PokerStars Championship Prague is well underway, with several events already finished. The latest champion is Lebanese Albert Daher, who won the first €25 High Roller of the festival.

Daher, managed to outlast a massive field of 50 (by high roller terms anyway). In the three-handed stage, the players agreed to make a deal. After some negotiations, they agreed on the numbers thanks to Mikalai Vaskaboinikau who was willing to give up some money. Mikalai got 3rd, while 2013 WSOP Main Event champion, Ryan Riess 2nd and overwhelming chip leader Daher became the champion.

Some of you may have noticed that there is one name appearing on both of the lists. This is not our mistake, it's the "mistake" of Adrian Mateos' who made the final four in both of tournaments, finishing 3rd in the €25k High Roller while 4th in the €50k SHR totalling almost €380k in cashes in the last few days. His life tournament earnings account for more than $12,000,000 - certainly a decent number for a 23-year-old.


Adrian is on a roll

The festival still promises plenty of action as events like the Main Event, the MegaStack and another €25k High Roller are yet to be started. Stay tuned for updates!
