Philipp Gruissem Wins 2013 WSOP Asia-Pacific $50,000 High Roller for AUD$825,000
He's done it again.
German pro Philipp Gruissem added another massive high roller score to his exceptional r?sum? on Sunday, winning the World Series of Asia-Pacific $50,000 Re-Entry High Roller for AUD$825,000. Gruissem bested a tough field of 44 total entries and capped it off with a come-from-behind performance against Joseph Cheong during heads-up play.
While the tournament didn't qualify as a bracelet event, Gruissem was all smiles after his victory. It marked his second six-figure score at the Crown in 2013 alone. Earlier this year, he took second in the Aussie Millions $25,000 Challenge for AUD$187,000. He's also made high roller final tables at the Caribbean Adventure, World Series of Europe, EPT London and EPT Monte Carlo over the past two years.
Gruissem busted early on Day 1 of this event but decided to re-enter, a decision that paid off handsomely. The German's total live tournament winnings now exceed $4.8 million, almost all of which can be traced to events with buy-ins of $25,000 or higher.
Here's a look at the results from Sunday's final table:
