Aram Zobian & Alex Foxen Crush Recent Wynn Poker $10K High Rollers
After successfully hosting four $10,500 High Roller events earlier in the month, the Wynn Poker Room opted to hold half a dozen more spread across two weekends to close out 2020.
The latest round of high rollers kicked off on Thursday, December 10 when 27 players created a $270,000 prize pool. That was reserved for the top four finishers including Aram Zobian (4th - $27,000) and Ali Imsirovic (3rd - $43,200). In the end, it was Brock Wilson besting Alex Foxen heads up to win the tournament for $124,200. Foxen took home $75,600 for his second-place finish.
Then, on Friday, December 11, Zobian found redemption when he bested an 18-entry field to win the tournament for $97,200. Sean Perry took second while Christopher Brewer finished third for $54,000 and $28,800 respectively.
On Saturday, December 12, the tournament drew 17 runners and saw Sam Soverel come out on top for $91,800. Chad Eveslage finished as runner-up for $51,000 while Wilson placed third for $27,200.
The following week offered another $10,500 High Roller on Thursday, December 17 and for the second time in a week, Zobain was victorious. He bested a 19-entry field to win the tournament for $102,600. Once again, Foxen finished in second place, good for $57,000, while Darren Elias finished in third place for $30,400.
On Friday, December 18, Brewer broke through by topping a 20-entry field to win a $108,000 top prize. Again, Foxen was runner up for the second day in a row, good for $60,000, while Soverel placed third for $32,000.
Finally, Wynn wrapped up its $10,500 High Rollers for 2020 on Saturday. The final tournament drew 20 runners and finally Foxen, who had three runner-up finishes, broke through to claim his first title for $108,000. Zobian came up one spot shy of his third title by finishing as runner-up for $60,000, while Sean Winter finished third for $32,000.
