Only a day after David Peters remained on the runner-up position in the 2016 Aria High Roller 46, the player managed to emerge victorious from the Aria Super High Roller 13, outlasting 29 competitors to take down the first-place prize and the champion’s title.
The Aria Super High Roller 13, which took place over the weekend, accumulated a players base of a total of 30 entrants. The tournament featured a buy-in estimated to $50,000, and the participants built a prize pool of $1,440,000. The total amount of the guaranteed prize pool was divided to five portions, so only the top 5 players got cash portions of the massive prize.
As winner, David Peters took home the lion’s share of the guaranteed prize pool after a heads-up deal with his last remaining competitor. He scooped a total of $511,970 for his first place in the tournament, while for his second position at the Aria Super High Roller 46 he got a prize of $168,480. By reaching to the Aria Super High Roller 13’s finals, the American managed to make it to a total of 18 final tables so far in 2016. In addition, this is the fourth champion’s title for Peters in 2016.
At the time when the number of players, who remained at the tournament’s final table, was reduced to two, it was David Peters and Erik Seidel who faced each other heads-up in an epic clash for the champion’s title. The two of them decided to make a deal based on their chip counts, so Peters, who got the chip lead at the time, finished first.
This year has been incredibly successful for David Peters to date. The American took part in a large number of poker tournaments and managed to win his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet, as well as some substantial cash prizes from a variety of competitions.
With David Peters winning the Aria Super High Roller 13 tournament after a heads-up deal, Erik Seidel remained on the second position, scooping a prize of $510,430. The third place was taken by Tom Marchese, who was granted with a prize of $201,600.
Isaac Haxton remained fourth. He got a prize of $129,600 for his participation. The final fifth place in the event’s ranking was occupied by Dan Smith, who managed to grab a consolation prize of $86,400.
