A few days after hosting the inaugural WPT500, the ARIA Casino & Resort opened its doors to some of the world’s best super high roller players in the world, who each put up $100,000 in hopes of winning the $1M top prize. Schemion would eventually be declared the winner, ensuring that he would be leaving Vegas with a significant profit, and addition World Rankings points under his belt.

Third place finisher Daniel Colman is only a few days removed from defeating Daniel Negreanu heads-up for $15M in the Big One for One Drop at the World Series of Poker.
Those who final tabled the event but finished between 5th and 9th positions would leave the Aria empty-handed, in what has to be one of the cruelest money bubbles of the summer.
