Nick ��caecilius�� Petrangelo emerged victorious from the $2,100 Sunday High Roller at PokerStars to collect $38,381. Pretrangelo has been in Las Vegas for the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP) but has only cashed once. That cash, however, was worth a cool $335,181, his reward for a fifth-place finish in the $50,000 High Roller.
Petrangelo found himself heads-up against Cyprus�� ��MITS 304�� and it was a one-on-one battle he came out of unscathed, resigning the runner-up to a $30,105 consolation prize.
The final table was a star-studded affair. Ninth place went to Alexandro ��mexican222�� Kolonias before Brazil��s Lincon ��Lincownz�� de Olivieira with Arturs ��ARTSchGamble�� Scerbaks of Germany falling in seventh place for $8,939, the last player not to bank five figures.
��Sinortas�� busted in sixth place for $11,396 and was joined on the rail by Jens ��Graftekkel�� Arends, David ��MoneyBausss�� Laka, and then by Finland��s ��elmerixx�� who was the penultimate bust out.
