The sixth event of the 2021 GG Spring Festival with a price tag of $25,500 has determined a champion. After a fierce heads-up battle that lasted almost one hour, it was Ronny Kaiser who overcame Mikita Badziakouski in Event H-57: $25,500 Super High Roller.
The tournament drew a total of 88 entries, consisting of 48 unique players and 40 re-entries. Only the top 13 finishers earned a portion of the $2,200,000 prize pool.
Kaiser was among the last batch of re-entries before the late registration closed and survived the money bubble as one of the shorter stacks. He entered the nine-handed final table as joint shortest stack on 12 blinds but rode those to victory for a payday of $508,448.
Runner-up Badziakouski had to settle for a consolation prize of $391,973 while Christian Rudolph finished in third place for $302,180 just one day after both held the same finishing positions in SCOOP-43-H: $25,000 NLHE [8-Max, Super High Roller].

Fifth place finisher Artur Martirosian fired five bullets to record a profit in the tournament, the most of any participant who made the money. Three of the final tablists only required a single entry including Nick Petrangelo, David Peters, and Pablo Silva Brito. Sami Kelopuro, winner of Event H-49: $25,500 Super High Roller just a few days ago, ended up as the bubble boy this time.
The Action of the Day
After their tussle in the $25,500 High Roller the previous day, Mikita Badziakouski and Christian Rudolph were in the thick of it again. At the end of the first level, Badziakouski doubled through Rudolph who busted shortly after. The second entry of Rudolph was not crowned by success either and he jumped back in at the last minute, which turned out to be a wise decision. Badziakouski also needed to buy back in before running up a stack and reaching the money without any major trouble.
Many others weren't as fortunate. Mike Watson and Steve O'Dwyer were unable to carry over the momentum with big stacks during the re-entry period and they were joined on the rail by the likes of Wiktor Malinowski, Niklas Astedt, Adrian Mateos, Ami Barer, and Dario Sammartino.
Down to the final two tables, Event H-23 runner-up Yuri Dzivielevski lost a flip to "R_uida lin" and soon after, the bubble burst with the elimination of Sami Kelopuro against Badziakouski. The hot run of the Belorussian was halted as he lost three all-in showdowns in a row and had to fork over two double-ups to Christian Rudolph.
Nick Petrangelo held the lead ahead of David Peters when the final nine combined to one table. Pablo Brito Silva departed almost immediately while Ronny Kaiser scored an urgently needed double. The tides changed several times thereafter. Rudolph knocked out Peters, the always dangerous Artur Martirosian, and Petrangelo in quick succession to bring the event three-handed.
However, the German poker pro was unable to outshine Badziakouski once more and dashed out two doubles to the Belorussian, one of which saw him open-jam jack-ten suited into aces. Badziakouski became Rudolph's nemesis once more and Kaiser was left with a mountain to climb in heads-up. The lead changed several times for more than 50 minutes until Kaiser prevailed in a duel of suited aces.
That concludes the PokerNews coverage of the sixth $25,500 High Roller during the GG Spring Festival but further live updates from key events are just around the corner.
