seidel When you’re looking to attract some of the elite poker players of the world, your best bet is to create the event with the largest buy-in, with only three days of notice to everyone before the event begins. Aussie Millions decided to do just that and a few days ago made the announcement that the Super High Roller Event will have a $250,000 buy-in, the largest in the history of poker.

A total of twenty people showed up with this buy-in, so the top 3 players received a pay, with the first one getting $2.5 million. Some of the players included Erik Sidel, Annette Obrestad, David Benyamine, Chris Ferguson, John Juanda and Phil Ivey.

The top 3 players that finished in the money were Benyamine (3rd with $1 million), Trickett (2nd with $1.4 million) and Seidel was the winner of the $2.5 million prize.
