Der Sieg beim RUB 257.600 High Roller der PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Open im Casino Sochi ging an Vadim Lipovka, dafür konnten sich drei Deutsche beim RUB 133.000 Main Event bereits für Tag 2 qualifizieren.
Von den 195 Entries beim High Roller Event waren nur noch acht Spieler übrig, die angeführt vom Weißrussen Vadim Lipovka ins Finale gingen. Viktor Ustimov war der bekannteste Spieler am Tisch, er kam schließlich auf Rang 3. Vadim Lipovka war schon massiver Chipleader und so war auch das Heads-up gegen Agharazi Babayev eine schnelle Angelegenheit und Lipovka kassierte die Siegprämie von RUB 10.082.800 (rund € 120.000).
