WPT Super High Roller Event 2011 Results


While Pass The Dip played for pocket change on Friday night, the world's best played a $100 000 buy in event in the World Poker Tour's first Super High Roller Event at the Bellagio.  29 players ponied up the massive buy in to play in the first ever $100 000 buy in event held on American soil.

Erik Seidel continued his amazing run in 2011 by besting the field and taking down the $1 092 780 first prize.  This gives him almost $5.5 million in tournament winnings this year alone.  And lets face it, it couldn't happen to a better pro!

The list of players in the money are:

1 - ($1 092 780) - Erik Seidel
2 - ($700 500) - Erick Lindgren
3 - ($448 320) - Daniel Negreanu
4 - ($336 240) - Vivek Rajkumar
5 - ($224 160) - Justin Bonomo

Do you ever take a look at a weak final table and say, I wish I was there, I would've won the thing for sure?

I can think of at least 3 people at our game that saw this final table and had that thought.
