This past weekend, ARIA Resort & Casino hosted two $25,000 high roller events over as many days. In the first, Max Silver topped a field of 41 entries to take home a $432,960 first-place prize, albeit amid drama as a player from the $125 buy-in nightly was mistakenly placed — and subsequently played for several hours – in the high roller field.
A day removed from that memorable tournament, a second $25,000 buy-in high roller, the High Roller IX, was held alongside the opening day of the WPT500.
