Roger Teska wins MILLIONS World

And maybe more remarkably, Steve O'Dwyer didn't win, in one of the biggest High Roller tournaments ever staged.

A staggering 394 entries were counted in partypoker's landmark $25,000 MILLIONS World (clearly a direct contender to next year's PSPC) which ultimately led to Roger Teska taking it down for $2 million. 

It was also another top performance for Steve O'Dwyer who won the last two partypoker High Rollers he played but this week settled for just 2nd place and $1,300,000 (we guess he is losing his edge folks). 

O'Dwyer's form in this event was not lost on Teska, who commented after the win "These guys know when to shove, what hands to shove with and I don't. Steve is a better player than I am so I wanted play bigger pots."

Elsewhere the $5,300 Main Event concluded Day 2A and the current numbers are 1,208, meaning the $10 million guarantee has a shot of being met, or coming close, today on Day 2B during late registration. 

There is also a $250,000 Super High Roller taking place which so far has attracted 31 players and will be taking late registrations (so no doubt Steve O'Dwyer can jump in, and win, that one). 

$25,000 MILLIONS World

7th Rainer Kempe $350,000
8th Niall Farrell $300,000

Is O'Dwyer the best Super High Roller (or is it Fedor, Bonomo, Peters, or someone else)? Let us know in the comments:
