Matthias Eibinger Binks the partypoker High Roller Big Game

Matthias Eibinger took down the partypoker High Roller Big Game and banked $63,216. Eibinger’s prize would have been a shade under $74,000 but he struck a heads-up deal with Finland’s Samuel Vousden.

Vousden’s runner-up finish weighed in at $57,568, $10,000 more than the advertised prize.

All but two of the nine finalists netted a five-figure prize. Niklas Astedt and Steve O’Dwyer were the first two players to dust off their chips; they walked away with $8,117 and $9,789 respectively.

Christopher Putz and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Yuri Dzvielevski were the next pair out of the door before Shawn Daniels and the Netherlands’ Daan Mulders fell by the wayside, the latter reeling in a $22,943 haul.
