2020 WSOP Online: Daniel Dvoress Wins The Millionaire Maker

For some, a $1,500 buy-in is a walk along a cliff-edge path.

For some, a $1,500 buy-in is an untrammelled flick of a chip.

Daniel Dvoress is the chip flicker.

The Canadian high stakes star is a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet owner after roaming through the mist of the 6,299-entrant Event #48: $1,500 MILLIONAIRE MAKER at the GGPoker WSOP Online Series. Dvoress walked into no-mans-land, trading blows with anyone and everyone until he remained, untouchable, eternal.

Amazingly, throughout his $15.6m in live tournament earnings, and multi-millions earned playing online, Dvoress, had never made money in a WSOP event until the GGPoker series began (taking 251st in Event #32: $100 The Opener, before winning this).

His sojourn into the WSOP web was a sticky one, turning a $1,500 investment into a $1.5m payday. Big money finishes are common to a man like Dvoress, taking the $4m first prize in the Super High Roller Bowl Bahamas in November. But to turn a $1.5k investment into $1.5m is massive, even for a high roller like Dvoress.

It’s another incredible performance for the Canadia. While he has been a serious contender for many moons, especially on the European Poker Tour (EPT) circuit, Dvoress began venturing into the deeper waters of high stakes tournaments during the 2019 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series, peaking with that SHRB victory.

Dvoress wasn’t the only titan to make it to the final table. partypoker’s Anatoly Filatov once again underlined his ever-growing reputation with a third-place finish, and the former EPT Main Event winner, Ronny Kaiser, finished seventh.

Here are the results.
