Nick ��caecilius�� Petrangelo emerged victorious from the $2,100 Sunday High Roller at PokerStars to collect $38,381. Pretrangelo has been in Las Vegas for the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP) but has only cashed once. That cash, however, was worth a cool $335,181, his reward for a fifth-place finish in the $50,000 High Roller.

Petrangelo found himself heads-up against Cyprus�� ��MITS 304�� and it was a one-on-one battle he came out of unscathed, resigning the runner-up to a $30,105 consolation prize.

The final table was a star-studded affair. Ninth place went to Alexandro ��mexican222�� Kolonias before Brazil��s Lincon ��Lincownz�� de Olivieira with Arturs ��ARTSchGamble�� Scerbaks of Germany falling in seventh place for $8,939, the last player not to bank five figures.

��Sinortas�� busted in sixth place for $11,396 and was joined on the rail by Jens ��Graftekkel�� Arends, David ��MoneyBausss�� Laka, and then by Finland��s ��elmerixx�� who was the penultimate bust out.

Thomas ��WushuTM�� Muehloecker has been one of the notable absentees at the 2019 WSOP, preferring to grind online instead. His decision to stay at home resulted in a $19,837 prize on Jun. 23 after he topped a field of 187 entries in the $530 Sunday 500.

After Belarusian legend ��Leqenden�� fell in ninth-place a trio of Dutch stars hit the rail. Jens ��Graftekkel�� Arends, Rens ��Rens02�� Feenstra, and ��Pimmss�� all busted and walked away with prizes of $3,089, $4,030 and $5,256 respectively.

Lincon ��Lincownz�� de Oliveira saw another final table appearance fall short of victory, his fifth-place finish seeing him turn his $530 into $6,855. The Brazilian gained some company on the sidelines when Dominik ��Bounatirou�� Nitsche busted in fourth place for $8,941 with Poland��s ��Sphinx87�� running out of steam in third place for $11,661.

Heads up saw Muehloecker and Sebastian ��p0cket00�� Sikorski fight it out of the title and the lion��s share of the prize pool. Muehloecker came out on top to bank the $19,837 first place prize with Canada��s Sikorski walking away with $15,210.
