Poker Masters: Steffen Sontheimer Puts on the Purple Jacket

The last of the condensed Poker Masters episodes comes to PokerGO with the $100,000 Main Event wrapping up the series. Poker’s elite comes together over the two episodes to play for their share of the $3.6 million prize pool and shot at the Purple Jacket.

Germany dominates the final table lineup once again. Four members of the nation stand among the last seven who make the money in the $100,000 High Roller. Steffen Sontheimer leads the charge and is in a perfect spot to pick up the coveted purple jacket.

Standing in his way are Christian Christner, Fedor Holz, and Stefan Schillhabel. The foursome all appeared in Super High Roller Bowl in 2017. Schillhabel finished third, just off the pace of Holz’s silver medal in 2016. Holz returns this year and makes his third consecutive appearance in the $300,000 buy-in tournament.

Other Super High Roller Bowl contenders in the Poker Masters Main Event include Seth Davies, who showed he is a long-term contender in high stakes events.

Rounding out the final table is Super High Roller Bowl China top dog Justin Bonomo, who also picked up a win in the U.S. Poker Open series. Both of Bonomo’s wins are available on PokerGO.

Germany is heads up for the crown and $1.5 million first-place prize, when all is said and done, Sontheimer’s great run in the high roller series continues and the condensed version of his waltz into the winner’s circle can be found on PokerGO.
