Just a few days ago, the ARIA in Las Vegas hosted several high roller poker events. The casino’s poker room has become a home for high-stakes events, with pros as well as amateurs trying to nail down a win. This past week, players were able to take part in two $10,000 tournaments and two $25,000 events. This was a little bit higher action than the previous month and might be a sign of larger events to come in the future.
Event Details
One of the $10,000 events was able to draw a field of 51 players. This created a large prize pool of $510,000. Eight places would earn a payout, and, in the end, it would be Matas Cimbolas and Johan Guilbert going head-to-head for the first-place finishes.
Matas Cimbolas and
Sergio Aido secured wins in the $10Ks.
Then, a few days after that was all wrapped, the PokerGO team released the schedule for next month s
U.S. Poker Open.
Schindler, Klein and Cimbolas Make Biggest Bucks
Wednesday would see the action kick off with a $10,000 buy-in that drew 51 players for $510,000 in the prize pool.
Eight would be paid, and according to the live updates on
Poker Central, it was
Sean Perry who went down in an unlucky ninth place after his tens failed to hold against the deuces of
Ali Imsirovic.
At the final table, Schindler secured what would be one of an impressive three cashes on the series, albeit for the minimum this time in eighth.

Although he won a high roller against some tough competition for $324,000, that wasn’t even Klein’s greatest accomplishment of the day. According to Jason Koon, who tweeted out the story, Klein played a round of golf at Las Vegas’ famous Shadow Creek Golf Course earlier in the day. During that round, the 73-year-old businessman sank a hole-in-one, a once-in-a-lifetime shot for most golfers.

Vail’s vibrancy last summer and through the winter was in part due to bending some existing rules. The question now is how to maintain that vibrancy.
Perhaps the biggest change to last summer’s rules is “common consumption areas.” Those areas allow people to wander around with an adult beverage in hand. Business owners and guests have given glowing reviews to that change. The change was enabled by an executive order from Gov. Jared Polis.
