The $100,000 buy-in World Poker Tour World Championship Super High Roller event celebrated the win of poker pro Dave 'Doc' Sands and his seven-figure payday worth $1,023,750.
The buy-in was just too rich for all but 21 players, most of them seasoned pros, and only the top three finishers cashed in this event. Still, it is possible that many players are saving their shekels for the big-money competitions just ahead - the World Series of Poker.
Going into the final table Jim Courtney held the lead with 1,690,000, chased by Joseph Cheong (1,646,000), Steven Silverman (1,339,000), David Sands (1,286,000), Andrew Robl (169,000) and Daniel Perper (164,000).
Cheong and Sands faced in the heads-up, with Sands holding a 3 to 1 chip lead that proved to be unassailable, and a few hands later he was claiming the main prize and Cheong took home a runner-up prize of $614,250
