About the desk

HighRoller follows the high roller tournaments at the big online poker rooms and keeps the results: who won, what it paid and how the final table went.

The site covers tournament results from the large international rooms (PokerStars, GGPoker, WPT Global, partypoker, 888poker), the crypto room CoinPoker and the US state-licensed platforms (WSOP.com, BetMGM Poker), with Americas Cardroom listed for the offshore US market. The emphasis is on the top of the schedule: the series Main Events, the weekly $10,000 high rollers, the record fields. A room profile explains what each site runs; a series page carries the festival's results and totals; the ledger lists every event with its final table.

A word on what the ledger shows. Poker is a game of skill, and the high roller tier is where that shows most clearly. The names that keep coming back at the $10,000 and $25,000 buy-ins are professionals and seasoned regulars with years of practice behind them, people who study the game the way an analyst studies a market: probability, game theory, bankroll management and a great deal of hand review. Variance decides a single tournament, skill decides a career, and a payout table is the record of that work rather than of a lucky night.

The figures are the rooms' own payout tables, and the hand replayer runs on the hand-history files the rooms give you, played in your browser. There are no sign-up links, bonus codes or tracking links anywhere on the site.

The desk writes under a collective byline, HighRoller Results Desk, and is run by Patrick Reid. Corrections, questions about a record and anything else for the desk go to [email protected]. The methodology page sets out the rules a record has to meet and how the SharkScope lobby feed is used; the results ledger is the place to start.
