partypoker Sunday Super High Roller: $200K Gtd
| Date | November 4th |
| Buy-in | $2,600 |
| Guarantee | $200,000 |
| Entrants | 80 |
| Prize pool | $200,000 |
| ITM | 10 |
Nemeth��s first victory of the night came in the partypoker Sunday Super High Roller: $200K Gtd that saw 80 entries processed and the $200,000 guarantee hit. This prize money was shared among the top 10 finishers, with Sami ��LarsLuzak1�� Kelopuro bursting the bubble and Team partypoker��s Patrick ��Patrick_Leonard�� Leonard popping the final table bubble.
��Orud76�� busted in eighth-place and collected $8,500 before Swedish star Nilkas ��Drulitooo�� Astedt lost his stack and fell in seventh-place for a $9,500 score. Sam ��DeanMalenko�� Greenwood then crashed out in sixth-place for $11,000, the first five-figure score of the tournament, followed by ��Ignent��, ��KONY2012�� and the player known as ��Dextered��.
This left Nemeth and British youngster Conor ��ADRIEN_BRODY�� Beresford to battle heads-up for the title. A $16,000 pay difference between first and second-place didn��t faze either player and no deal was made. This meant when Nemeth emerged victorious he banked $57,000 while Beresford netted the $39,000 consolation prize.
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Andras ��probirs�� Nemeth | $57,000 |
| 2 | Conor ��ADRIEN_BRODY�� Beresford | $39,000 |
| 3 | Dextered | $27,000 |

PokerStars $2,100 Sunday High Roller
| Date | November 4th |
| Buy-in | $2,100 |
| Guarantee | $100,000 |
| Entrants | 100 |
| Prize pool | $200,000 |
| ITM | 13 |
The second high roller victory for Nemeth came in the PokerStars $2,100 Sunday High Roller where the $100,000 guarantee was smashed by $100,000 after 100 players bought in.
One of those players was Steve ��Mr.Tim Caum�� O��Dwyer who was the unfortunate soul to burst the money bubble, falling in 14th place for no return on his $2,100 investment. O��Dwyer��s exit meant the surviving 13 players were guaranteed at least $5,000 for their effort.
This sum increased slightly to $5,819 by the time the final table was set and this is the sum Austria��s ��mikki696�� walked away with after they busted in ninth-place. Another talented Austrian in the shape of Thomas ��WushuTM�� Muhlocker headed for the rail in eighth-place and Damian ��pampa27�� Salas exited in seventh-place for $8,942; Salas finished seventh in this very tournament last week.
The final six players read like a who��s who of poker. Connor ��blanconegro�� Drinan was the next player to fall and he was joined on the sidelines by Russian duo ��Futti18�� and ��hello_totti�� before UK-based Polish pro ��bartek901�� dusted off their stack in third-place for $27,184.
Finland��s ��elmerixx�� and Nemeth locked horns heads-up for the $47,398 top prize, which is now nestled in Nemeth��s PokerStars account after he defeated his talented Finnish opponent, resigning elmerixx to the $35,895 runner-up prize.

The next two finishing places were taken up by ��GewoonBoef�� and ��TullaMoreFan12��, the latter falling by the wayside in third-place for $21,944 and setting up an exciting one-on-one battle between Astedt and Mateusz ��GreenNaugahyde�� Szymanski.
