Christopher Brewer defeated a star-studded field in the WPT Online Series Event #5: $10,300 WPT High Roller for $249,791 at partypoker.
Brewer came close to WPT gold a few weeks ago when he took sixth place in the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown $25,500 No Limit Hold'em - High Roller for $128,935.
The High Roller provided extra value to all the players advancing to Day 2 in the money thanks to the 99 entries falling one player shy of the $1 million guarantee slapped on this event.
