Ravid Garbi and Niklas Astedt both walked away with more than $530,000 after chopping a super high roller event online at GGPoker . The talented duo struck a deal when heads-up in the $25,500 Sunday Million SHR tournament, which resulted in them sharing more than $1 million of the $2,600,000 prize pool.

Benjamin Rolle was the final table’s first casualty. Rolle’s ninth-place exit came with a $65,102 payout. Marius Gierse then fell in eighth for $86,205, which was the last prize not to weigh in at six figures.
Isaac Haxton banked $114,147 for his seventh-place finish while Cyprus’ “pitrasyan” collected $151,147 after they came unstuck in sixth. Fifth-place and $200,140 went to Nick Petrangelo , with Christian Rudolph walking away with $265,013 after busting in fourth.
Brazilian star Yuri Dzivielevski ran out of steam and fell in third, a finish worth $350,914. Dzivielevski’s exit left Astedt heads-up against Garbi. The duo agreed to a deal before Garbi went on to defeat the Swedish online poker legend in the one-on-one battle. $25,500 Sunday Million SHR Final Table Results
