Matthias Eibinger took down the partypoker High Roller Big Game and banked $63,216. Eibinger��s prize would have been a shade under $74,000 but he struck a heads-up deal with Finland��s Samuel Vousden.

Vousden��s runner-up finish weighed in at $57,568, $10,000 more than the advertised prize.

All but two of the nine finalists netted a five-figure prize, thanks in part to 116-players buying in for $2,600 each. Niklas Astedt and Steve O��Dwyer were the first two players to dust off their chips; they walked away with $8,117 and $9,789 respectively.

Christopher Putz and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Yuri Dzvielevski were the next pair out of the door before Shawn Daniels and the Netherlands�� Daan Mulders fell by the wayside, the latter reeling in a $22,943 haul.

Brazilian superstar Bruno Volkmann��s elimination in third netted him $32,447, leaving Vousden and Eibinger to strike a deal and conclude this week��s High Roller Big Game.
