Robbi Jade Lew might have won the most outrageous cash game pot in the history of poker last week, but the Jack-high hero didn’t make our current round-up of champions. That’s because the tournament scene is buzzing with activity right now, and we’ve found Big Winners on three continents. From Simon Eric Mattsson winning the WSOP Online Main Event for over $2.7 million to David Tang’s exploits Down Under, we’ve got plenty of impressive results. So, if you’re ready, here are CardsChat’s Big Winners of the Week ending Sunday, October 2. (Image: TK) Simon Eric Mattsson
WSOP Online Main Event GGPoker
$2,793,574
Mattsson made relatively light work of the $5,000 WSOP Online Main Event final table last Monday. The Swedish pro started as the chip leader and never looked back, despite tough opposition from the high rollers like Samuel Vousden. Mattsson might not have been using his familiar moniker C. Darwin2 on GGPoker, but he still showed why he’s one of the top online players in the world. Topping a field of 4,984 entrants not only gave Mattsson his single biggest score and first WSOP bracelet , the win took his online earnings over the $27 million mark.

WPT Australia Main Event Star Gold Coast
AU$647,470
(US$416,197)
Tang almost didn’t ante up in the WPT’s first-ever main tour event in Australia. The Aussie grinder tried to cancel his flight to the Gold Coast so he could stay in Melbourne to watch the Australian Football League Grand Final. The airline he booked with had other ideas and, after he was refused a refund, he opted to play the AU$5,400 (US$3471) tournament. That turned out to be the best decision of his poker career. After six days of play, he was the last of 710 entrants standing on September 27. The win was Tang’s biggest payday in poker and also his ticket into December’s WPT Championship at The Wynn in Las Vegas. Deividas Daubaris
