There was another great High Roller victory for Isaac Haxton in the PCA $100,000 Super High Roller, winning over $1,000,000 after a three-way chop.
The American made an ICM deal with Seth Davies and Adrian Mateos, and came out on top as the trio played it out to decide the victor.
This result came less than a week after another High Roller victory in Las Vegas, with Haxton calling it a fantastic start to the year.
"I don't think I've ever won two tournaments in a row before, and these are pretty good ones to do it in," Haxton told PokerNews in a winner's interview. "So yeah, I'm feeling great. This is a fantastic start to the year."
In a hand that extended a few minutes into the first break, Chris Oliver moved all in for around 180,000 and Rayan Chamas went deep into the tank for several minutes as the rest of the tabled headed off to break.
"How much does the money matter to you?" Chamas, who has played the tournament with a plush snake wrapped around his neck, asked as he tried to get a read on Oliver.
"It wouldn't change it too much. Not as much as that guy!" Oliver said as he pointed to the seat of Glen Craigen, who recently secured an unlikely triple-up as he approaches what he told PokerNews would be a life-changing score.
Chamas eventually called to put Oliver at risk.
Chris Oliver:
Rayan Chamas: 
"I'm a whale!" Chamas cried when he saw he was in bad shape. Chamas got some help from the 
flop but it was the turn that gave him a huge lead before the 
river bricked off to mark Oliver's elimination.
