The summer is poker's peak season, with almost two full months of action in Las Vegas highlighted by some of the biggest prize pools and most coveted trophies.
In what's become a star-studded kickoff to the proceedings, the Super High Roller Bowl, a $300,000 buy-in tournament, has crowned one of the biggest winners of the year each of the last three years. Thursday, the tournament saw its third champion, Christoph Vogelsang, take home $6 million at the ARIA Resort & Casino.
Vogelsang came from behind to defeat prohibitive favorite Jake Schindler during the final day's three-handed session to walk away with the biggest tournament cash of his career.
