Jake Schindler Leads Final 8 of $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl
Welcome back to the ARIA Resort & Casino for Day 4 of the $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl!
The 56-player field full of businessmen, seasoned poker veterans, online whiz kids, and a very famous celebrity, is now down to a final eight players all fighting it out for a piece of the $16,800,000 prize pool. Unfortunately for one of these eight, they will be going home empty handed as the tournament is currently on the money bubble meaning that they'll have nothing to show following their exhausting efforts of playing poker for the past three days against the world's best. For those lucky seven players that will make the money, they'll all be guaranteed a $600,000 payout, by all eyes will be on the $6,000,000 first prize awaiting the next Super High Roller Bowl Champion.
The player in best position to make a run at that top prize is 27 year old Jake Schindler who amassed a chip stack equal to nearly 25% of the chips in play as he sits with 4,080,000. Schindler has collected results all around the world, but it is here at ARIA where he has made a steady living in the high roller events they run with 12 six-figure cashes to his credit; the biggest of which was a share of a three-way chop in 2016 for over $835,000 in a $100,000 High Roller event.
Christoph Vogelsang is Schindler's closest rival, but still sits 1.4 million chips shy after the German bagged 2,650,000 to end the day. Vogelsang has been a regular in high roller events around the world but has yet to collect a win or a second place throughout his tournament career that features over $7.7 million in winnings. Byron Kaverman has been up the top of the leaderboard this entire tournament and will head into the final table with 2,200,000. The likes of Stefan Schillhabel, Pratyush Buddiga, Leon Tsoukernik, and Justin Bonomo all sit within 155,000 of each other while Jason Koon rounds out the rear with 685,000.
