Preben Stokkan of Norway won the CPP MILLIONS High Roller. It took until the early hours of Monday morning to complete the task, but when the smoke cleared, Stokkan took him $275,000 for his efforts in the event. Jonathan Little came in 2nd place with Sam Greenwood rounding out the top three.

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.
