The event, which had a $10,000 buy-in and a $2 million guaranteed prize pool, awarded Sumpas as first prize winner $611,455. Once the 299 entrants were registered, the total prize pool jumped to $2.99 million.

This is not Sumpas’ first big win at Poker Stars, nor at a PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker either, as in the 2008 WCOOP Main Event, he finished in 6th place for a $415,150 prize.

No one knows Sumpas’ real name (at least not yet) but we do know that he hails from Linkoping, Sweden.

The $10,000 High-Rollers event final table included the likes of World Poker Tour (WPT) champ Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul, European Poker Tour (EPT) founder John Duthie, Scott Freeman, and Mike “Sowerss” Sowers.

Sowerss took second place for $448,500 and BeL0WaB0Ve took third place for $337,870.
