Daniel Colman cashes the highest score in 2014 - Super High Roller
With the year 2014 drawing to an end, a number of poker players have managed to wrap it up with seven-figure score win by playing in high stake tournaments, especially with events tagged over $ 100,000 of buy-in: the Super High Roller. Let us have a look at them. The top event of the year remains the 46th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) $ 1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop (held last summer). Daniel Colman won the event to take home $ 15,306,668. With this prize, Colman is ranked No.1 as the biggest Money Maker in poker tournaments this year. The rest of the Top 10 includes Martin Jacobson ($10,786,227), Daniel Negreanu ($ 10,284,118), Felix Vincent Stephensen ($5,167,150 ), Christoph Vogelsang ($4,530,775 ), Thomas Marchese ($4,472,478 ), Mike McDonald ($4,423,442 ), Scott Seiver ($4,092,553 ), Jorryt van Hoof ($3,929,477 ) and Phil Ivey ($3,787,707 ).
Alongside the Big One for One Drop, the nearly closed 2014 has also been marked by other Super High Roller events. The recently completed World Poker Tour Alpha 8 Super High Roller (held at Bellagio, Las Vegas) has made Andrew Lichtenberger super happy with $ 2,104,245 of prize by topping a 55-player field. Held in July, the Aria $ 100,000 buy-in Super High Roller battle was won by Ole Schemion for $ 1,062,785 as he kicked 29 other players out. Outside the United States, interesting Super High Roller events include, among others, that of the European Poker Tour (EPT), the $ 100,000/$ 250,000 buy-in Aussie Millions and the Asia Pacific Poker Championship $ 500,000 HKD Super High Roller as well.
