There’s quite a poker boom going on among chess players in the last few years and it might go even crazier now as Estonian chess grandmaster Ottomar Ladva wins 6-Max Super High Roller for $525,089 ! An already amazing achievement makes everything even more impressive if we tell you that he qualified from only $530! First, he bought into $530 satellite and won $2,650 satellite ticket, which he turned into a $25,500 seat for Super High Roller. For the win he had to fight against Justin Bonomo in HU, while being more than 2:1 behind in chips. After multiple hours he finally finished with a check mate and took home $525,089 first place prize. Mike McDonald even suggest that he might be one of the best chess-poker crossover players right now.
