Dietrich Fast's victory came just a few days after he finished in 5th place in the Triton Super High Roller Series Macau event for $590,016.

These two cashes have pushed Fast's lifetime tournament cashes to over $6.2 million, which moves him significantly higher on the all time money list.

Steve O'Dwyer, on the other hand, moved past the $20 million mark with his second place finish. As of this moment, O'Dwyer sits at 12th place on the all-time money list with a total of $20,268,238 in live tournament earnings. O'Dwyer, who makes his living playing in High Roller and Super High Roller events, is now within striking distance of the likes of Sam Trickett, Brian Rast and even Phil Hellmuth on the all-time money list.
