One of poker's top tournament players, Jake Schindler, won the first tournament in the March High Roller series at Wynn, a $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em event.

The future Poker Hall of Famer received $166,600 for beating out 49 entrants, adding on to his already impressive resume that includes nearly $29 million in live tournament cashes according to the Hendon Mob. Play began and concluded Tuesday at the Las Vegas Strip resort hotel and casino.

Schindler entered Monday's final table with the chip lead, but he lost it to Darren Elias momentarily. After Chris Brewer busted in seventh place ($19,600), Joseph Cheong was the shortest stack, but he'd spin it up and eventually end up heads-up against Schindler.

Cheong's rise up the leaderboard started with a lucky hand in which he moved all-in with {6-}{6-} against the {a-}{k-} of Elias and {a-}{a-} of Ali Imsirovic when he spiked a {6-} on the river.

In the end, however, he couldn't overcome a 4:1 chip disadvantage that he faced at the beginning of heads-up play. But he did take home $107,800 for his second-place finish. Schindler won his second high roller of 2022. His first was for $287,500 in PokerGO Tour's Stairway to Millions $25,000 no-limit hold'em tournament.
