Let’s move on to the GGNetwork, where the $1,050 Sunday High Rollers Main Event is one of the highlights of their weekly tournament schedule.

This time a whopping 489 players signed up and smashed the $400K Guarantee by more than 22%.

In the end there were $489,000 in the prize pool and the lion share went to Austria in form of Thomas Hueber.

The Austrian prevailed on a final table mainly consisting of online players. Once the heads-up was reached, Hueber and “takemeaway” from Montenegro made an ICM deal, which secured Thomas Hueber the trophy and biggest paycheque.
