Benjamin Ector<\/strong> is our winner for this large 2,000+ event. He put his hands on his first bracelet and $406,403. It’s Ector 26 WSOP cash, his previous best performance being a 5th place in the 2019’s Monster Stack for $286k, and now has more than $1,5M in total live earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event #29: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold\u2019em<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The massive high-roller finally went to Jans Arends<\/strong>, who kept his chip lead to close the tournament and win the massive prize of $2,5M, defeating Cary Katz<\/strong> in the heads-up. It’s the first live bracelet for Arends, who won a $1,000 online bracelet last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s completely different live,” Arends said. “Live is more pressure, there’s people around, there’s cameras, live-streamed final table. There’s added pressure. The first one was just an online tourney and basically, all that people saw in the end was who won. So, this is very different. Way more special, I would say.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the final table results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
