��As you can expect with 90-minute levels,�� Aido told SHRPO reporters after the win, ��there was plenty of play. I��m very happy with how I played.��
He added: ��Now I��m living in Mexico. It��s closer to Miami, and I think this stop will be in my schedule in the following months. So, I will be back for sure.��
The victory came a week after he finished fourth in the $50,000 Super High Roller. With the 2022 SHRPO Championship win, Aido earned his third-largest career score and moved past $14 million in career earnings according to The Hendon Mob.

King Turns $2,650 Satty Win Into $713,190 Payday in $25,500 High Roller
Event #40: $25,500 Big 4 High Roller (Re-Entry), which played out from August 8-9, attracted 105 entries and offered up a $2,593,500 prize pool, which squeaked by the $2 million guarantee. That was paid out to the top 15 finishers and among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Darren Elias (10th - $67,430), Joseph Cheong (12th - $62,255), and recent 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final tablist Asher Conniff (13th - $59,650).
Nolan King was playing in his first-ever high roller tournament, which he qualified for via a $2,650 satellite.
��One of my buddies, James Carroll, texted me and said, ��Hey, come play this satellite with me,�� King explained to SHRPO officials. ��I was in bed, getting ready to go to sleep, but I said ��Alright, I��ll come play.�� So, I came and played, and I won that. I never would have played this otherwise.��
King was almost one of the first to go from the final table but ��got very lucky in a lot of spots�� including one where he was dominated by Sean Winter.
��I had ace-three, and Sean had ace-king,�� said King. ��We got it all in preflop. He flopped a flush draw and turned a king, but I hit a miracle straight on the river.��
Heads-up play against Winter lasted more than two hours before coming to a head.
��That last hand, I had six-seven of spades,�� said King. ��Sean flopped top two, and I got lucky with a spade on the turn. So everything went my way today.��

David Peters Wins $50K Super High Roller
Earlier in the series, from August 4-5 to be exact, Event #30: $50,000 Super High Roller attracted 25 of the world��s best to battle for a $1,212,500 prize pool.
David Peters began the second day as the short stack with just a dozen big blinds, but he managed to spin that up into victory after striking a heads-up deal with Byron Kaverman, The latter received $380,580 as a part of the deal while Peters walked away with $407,545 and the trophy, his third from the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood.
��It feels great, especially coming in short,�� Peters told SHRPO officials. ��I was able to chip up early, and a lot of things went well today.��
The deal came after back-to-back bust outs by the short stacks. First, Aido failed to get there with ace-ten against Peters�� pocket kings to fall in fourth for $133,375, and then Kaverman��s ace-six held against the queen-jack of Elio Fox, who exited in third place for $194,000.
Peters added: ��It was a battle. With this very deep structure, it could have gone all night if things went a little differently. But it was fun. It��s a great environment and a lot of friends always come to this stop. There��s great weather, great food, and restaurants. This is one of my favorite stops.��
