For some, a $1,500 buy-in is a walk along a cliff-edge path.

For some, a $1,500 buy-in is an untrammelled flick of a chip.

Daniel Dvoress is the chip flicker.

The Canadian high stakes star is a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet owner after roaming through the mist of the 6,299-entrant Event #48: $1,500 MILLIONAIRE MAKER at the GGPoker WSOP Online Series. Dvoress walked into no-mans-land, trading blows with anyone and everyone until he remained, untouchable, eternal.

Amazingly, throughout his $15.6m in live tournament earnings, and multi-millions earned playing online, Dvoress, had never made money in a WSOP event until the GGPoker series began (taking 251st in Event #32: $100 The Opener, before winning this).

His sojourn into the WSOP web was a sticky one, turning a $1,500 investment into a $1.5m payday. Big money finishes are common to a man like Dvoress, taking the $4m first prize in the Super High Roller Bowl Bahamas in November. But to turn a $1.5k investment into $1.5m is massive, even for a high roller like Dvoress.

It’s another incredible performance for the Canadia. While he has been a serious contender for many moons, especially on the European Poker Tour (EPT) circuit, Dvoress began venturing into the deeper waters of high stakes tournaments during the 2019 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series, peaking with that SHRB victory.

Dvoress wasn’t the only titan to make it to the final table. partypoker’s Anatoly Filatov once again underlined his ever-growing reputation with a third-place finish, and the former EPT Main Event winner, Ronny Kaiser, finished seventh.

Here are the results.

Three more high stakes stars who ventured deeper than a Zen master in meditation were Michael Addamo (16th), Isaac Haxton (20th), and Seth Davies (37th).

Daniel Dvoress has taken the lead in the Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB) Online Series hosted by partypoker. The Canadian star finished sixth in Event #2: $25,500 for slightly better than a min-cash, before marching on to take the top prize in Event #5: $25,500 No-Limit Hold’em for $613,986.70.

The Canadian’s online win arrives after an impressive rash of live results that began at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Montenegro (May 2019) and culminated in winning the SHRB in the Bahamas for $4m in Nov.

Dvoress is one of the 18-players to have finished in the money (ITM) in two events, and included in that two-digit number are Alex Foxen, Dan Smith and Nick Petrangelo. The American trio featured in two of the three events that finished on this day in question with Foxen coming out slightly ahead of Smith in the money earned stakes.

Outside of Dvoress, there were wins for Mikalai Vaskaboinikau and Pascal LeFrancois.

Vaskaboinikau is a high stakes reg on the European Poker Tour (EPT) circuit and finished 5/69 in 2018 €50,000 No Limit Hold’em at EPT Barcelona to record the most substantial live score of his career (€267,800). The Belarusian conquered a field of 106-entrants to win the $293,090 first prize in Event #4: $10,300 No Limit Hold’em.

Vaskaboinikau defeated Kristen Bicknell, heads-up, to collect the win, and her beau Foxen finished fifth. The 2020 Poker Masters Online Champion, Alexandros Kolonias, finished third.

LeFrancois took down the 83-entrant $10,300 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max after beating Foxen, heads-up for the title. The French-Canadian finished ITM six-times during the 2020 Poker Masters Online, winning two events, and accumulating more than a million bucks in gross revenue. Hence, he’s a flame thrower, right now.
