What would you do if you had recently padded your bankroll with $1,850,000? Jet off on holiday for a month or two? Take a break from the poker grind? Or head to Coventry, buy into the £2,000 Goliath High Roller event and take it down for £55,200? Dean Hutchison decided on the latter.
Hutchison was one of 103 entrants in the Goliath High Roller this week; he helped create a £185,400 prize pool. The top 11 finishers shared that princely sum. You may recall Hutchison recently finished sixth in the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event.
Dan Laidlaw was the first player to fall in the money places, his 11th place finish coming with a £4,100 payout. Colin Gillon joined Laidlaw at the cashier's desk, where he collected £4,400.
Leo Worthington-Leese pushed his live poker lifetime earnings past $1 million with the £5,000 ninth-place prize money in this high roller event.
The Goliath High Roller became an all-male affair with the elimination of Jessica Pilkington in eighth. Pilkington, who counts a victory in the Women's event at the 2022 European Poker Tour London among the many poker accolades, banked £5,500.
