Onyx High Roller Series: Raoul Kanme Claims Main Event Title for $1,250,000

The Main Event with a $25,500 buy-in confirmed its status as one of the most enticing high-stakes events of the season. The tournament recorded a total of 255 entries, surpassing the initial $5 million guarantee by over a million dollars. The final prize pool settled at $6,120,000, with 38 top players reaching the money.

Among those who cashed but fell short of the final table were notable names like David Coleman (33rd place), Sergio Aido (16th place), and Eelis Parssinen (14th place).

The Career-Defining Bluff

Raoul Kanme entered the final day as the chipleader, and although Austrian Daniel Rezaei briefly took the lead, Kanme remained composed. A pivotal moment in the tournament that will go down in history was his massive bluff against Matthias Lipp.

In a huge pot, Kanme, holding K h 8 h, check-raised the flop, continued with aggression on the turn, and went all-in on the river, putting Lipp, who held K s Q h, to a decision for almost his entire stack on a board of T h 6 s Q c 4 d 2 d. After a long contemplation, Lipp folded, and Kanme triumphantly revealed his pure bluff, giving him the psychological edge for the rest of the game.

Kanme began the heads-up against Lipp with a decisive lead and clinched victory quickly. The final hand saw Lipp go all-in with K h 3 h, and Kanme called with a dominant A c 3 d. The board 8 h 7 c 5 d J h 4 s was no help to Lipp, sealing Kanme's career-defining victory.
