Welcome to Day 1 of the CA$10,300 High Roller
Welcome back to the 2019 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North America, and the Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada, for Day 1 of the CA$10,300 High Roller that features a CA$1,000,000 guarantee.
In 2018, a total of 80-entries created a prize pool for CA$1,000,000 which saw the top 11 players finish in-the-money. Marc MacDonnell, Louis Boutin, and Christopher Kruk all fell short of reaching the final table, and when the dust settled on the final table, it would be David Eldridge defeating Victor Ramdin heads-up to collect the CA$300,000 first-place prize and title of 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North America High Roller Champion.
For Eldridge, this High Roller win was the fourth victory of his career, and it was also one of his biggest scores. Following this win, Eldridge collected a cash in the Main Event (208th place), and then added final tables at the WSOP in the Super Turbo Bounty, and a Poker Masters side event later in the year on his way to amassing over $1.2 million in lifetime tournament earnings.
