When the world’s best players hit form they tend to reel in more than their fair share of prizes. 888poker ambassador Dominik Nitsche is testament to that. The ultra-talented four-time WSOP bracelet-winning German enjoyed a super Sunday on February 13, helping himself to a brace of victories and navigating his way to several final tables.
Nitsche’s fantastic run started at his sponsor’s site, 888poker. He was one of 32 entrants in the $2,100 buy-in The Big Shot High Roller. The compact field meant only the top four finishers won a slice of the $64,000 prize pool, with Nitsche walking away with $28,800 for his outright victory.
