In addition to the MILLIONS Open, the $10,000 + $300 MILLIONS High Roller was largely played before we arrived in Punta Cana – in fact, the event is already down to the final 3 players.
There were a total of 103 players in the event which meant 11 places paid. The following table lists the payouts so far. It includes Montreal pro Pascal Lefrancois, one of the greatest tournament players in the world today, who finished in 6th place for $70,000.
