Welcome to Day 1 of Event #83: $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller.
Last year, Nick Petrangelo won the corresponding event, which took place fifth on the schedule. In doing so, Petrangelo outlasted 105 competitors to take home the first-place prize of $2,910,227, defeating Elio Fox heads-up to claim the title while Fox took home $1,798,658 for his second-place finish.
Aymon Hata (3rd place - $1,247,230), Andreas Eiler (4th place - $886,793), Bryn Kenney ($646,927), Stephen Chidwick ($484,551), Jason Koon ($372,894), and Adrian Mateos ($295,066) were the other big names that made the final table.
Some other champions who took a shot at this event included Phil Ivey, Fedor Holz, Jason Mercier, and Ryan Riess, so we can expect to see some stellar names in this year's line-up, with an attractive prize-pool to go with the obvious bragging rights of winning an event of such magnitude.
