Welcome to the WSOPC Sydney $20,000 High Roller
Welcome to the largest buy-in on the WSOP International Circuit Sydney schedule: the $20,000 High Roller! This event isn't for the weak of heart. Only the best of the best will show up with the confidence to pony up the hefty buy-in to lock horns with poker’s elite.
Last year, Andy Lee conquered an impressive field of 32 players, including a heads-up battle with Germany’s Martin Finger, to take home the $273,600 first-place prize. This year, Lee will hopefully be back to defend his crown against some of the biggest names in Australian poker including Jonathan Karamalikis, Corey Kempson, WSOP bracelet winner Sam Higgs, 2018 WSOP Main Event 7th place finished Alex Lynskey, Jason Pritchard, Zac Lowrie and Gautam Dhingra.
