The Aria High Roller Series has wrapped their summer events with the last event concluding on Tuesday. Sam Soverel went on an impressive run, winning the last two events of the summer.

With his events, Soverel has won five Aria High Roller Events this summer and is now second in the High Roller of the Year race behind Cary Katz.

Sam Soverel Wins Final Two Summer Aria High Rollers

The final two Aria High Roller events kicked off on Saturday and Tuesday to close out a summer of insane high roller action at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The first event was on Saturday, the $25k High Roller Turbo.

The $25k Turbo drew a field of 20 entries, creating a prize pool of $300,000. Only the final two players were paid with Timothy Adams and Sam Soverel battling. Adams walked away in second, earning $90k. Soverel won his fourth Aria High Roller of the Summer, taking down $210,000.

The final $25k Aria High Roller event kicked off on Tuesday as the Big One for One Drop concluded at the 2018 World Series of Poker. This one drew 20 entries with three players getting paid.

Tushar Shah earned his first live tournament cash in this event, finishing third for $80,000. Soverel again made it heads-up, this time against Jake Schindler. Schindler finished runner-up, good for $150,000. Soverel won his second straight $25k, earning $270,000 in the process.

Soverel Now Second in High Roller of the Year Race

With his back-to-back wins, Soverel moves up to second in the High Roller of the Year race behind Cary Katz. Soverel has been on his own impressive run this summer, cashing in nine Aria High Roller events, and winning five of them.

Soverel has earned $1.41 million this summer at the ARIA. This leads all players, including Katz. Katz presently only leads by 15 points because he has a couple additional cashes with many being runner-up finishes.

Two-Thirds of Soverel’s Career Earnings at Aria

Sam Soverel has an impressive resume with $6.46 million in live tournament cashes including one WSOP bracelet victory. He also finished 81st in the 2012 WSOP Main Event. However, his most impressive achievements have come in the High Roller events at ARIA.

Presently, Soverel has $4.22 million in career earnings at ARIA, good for 15th all-time at the venue. He has eight victories along with 23 career cashes. His largest cash at the ARIA was in a $100k High Roller in October 2016. He chopped with Brian Rast and Jake Schindler to walk away with $1.02 million.

In 2018, Soverel has $1.79 million in live earnings, with most coming at the ARIA. His career best was back in 2016 when he earned $2.58 million.

Poker Masters Coming in September

Tuesday’s $25k High Roller brings the Aria High Roller Series to a conclusion for the summer. The next event scheduled for the ARIA is the Poker Masters in September. The Poker Masters is a series of seven High Roller events ranging in buy-ins from $10k to $100,000.

The series opens a $10k NL Event, the only $10k on the schedule. Event #3 is a $25k PLO Event, the only non-NL Hold’em event of the series. Events 2, 4, and 5 are $25k NL Events. Event #6 is a $50k NL Event while Event #7 is a $100,000 NL Hold’em Main Event. The first five events feature double re-entries while events 5 and 6 feature single re-entries.

During the series, players will earn points towards the Poker Masters Purple Jacket. Steffen Sontheimer won the jacket last year. This year’s Poker Masters will use the High Roller of the Year point system to award points towards the Poker Masters Purple Jacket.

The series kicks off on September 7th with the $10k NL and all events will be streamed live on PokerGo. Will Sontheimer repeat as champion or will Soverel continue his insane run? Of course, Justin Bonomo is always lurking, so anything can happen.
