This year's High Roller for One Drop at the World Series of Poker Europe attracted a number of the world's biggest and best players, including the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius.

In the end, however, it was Dominik Nitsche who ended up taking down the tournament for €3,487,463.

With his victory, Nitsche, who plays as "Bounatirou" on Pokerstars and resides in Minden, Germany, added another World Series of Poker bracelet to his growing collection. This was Nitsche's fourth WSOP bracelet, with his previous wins coming in 2012 ($1,000 No Limit Hold'em) and 2014 ($10,000 WSOP National Championship, $1,000 No Limit Hold'em).

The tournament ended up attracting 88 unique players and a total of 132 entries. This turnout ended up contributing nearly 1 million Euros to the One Drop charity, which is "dedicated to providing sustainable access to clean water in impoverished communities across the globe".

Here is how the tournament ended up finishing out:

1st - Dominik Nitsche, €3,487,463
2nd - Andreas Eiler, €2,155,418
3rd - Mikita Badziakouski, €1,521,312

6th - Christoph Vogelsang, €606,694

With the conclusion of the High Roller for One Drop, just two WSOPE events still need to be decided - the €25,000 Super High Roller and the main event.
