When high rolling tournament players bore of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) madness, they shed their skin in the comfiest high roller chairs in the world – the ARIA poker room.
Like most casinos on the Las Vegas Strip at this time of year, the ARIA is taking full advantage of the invasion of poker players brought to bear by the World Series of Poker (WSOP) by creating the ARIA Summer High Rollers.
Running from 23 May to 16 July, the best in the business will pull each other’s hair, and attempt to slap each other across the face with handbags from ten paces, and we have the early results.
A few people are worthy of further mention, and we’ll begin with Jake Schindler. The ARIA All-Time Money Earner is closing in on Cary Katz’s ARIA ITM record after climbing the ladder into the money of five tournaments to Katz’s 1. The only slight on his performance was the lack of a trophy.
Matthias Eibinger has two trophies. The Austrian cashed in four events including winning $10,000 and a $25,000 buy-in events. The Spaniard Juan Dominguez also won two $10,000 games.
Manig Loeser continued the impressive run of form that saw him win the European Poker Tour (EPT) Main Event in Monte Carlo with three cashes, and Ali Imsirovic continues to deal with high stakes poker fields like a farmer deals with a turkey neck after also cashing in three events.
Barry Hutter and Michael Addamo cashed twice, including a victory in a $10,000 for the Australian, his first ARIA win. Byron Kaverman won his first tournament since winning back-to-back $25k events in this series, three-years ago, and Sam Soverel looked as cool as a hippie drinking lemon balm tea despite the grief he got for his suggested angle-shooting in the $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em bracelet event by winning a $25,0000, his second of the year.
