Brandon Wilson has captured the $100,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl XI in Las Vegas, earning $1,125,000 after a dramatic run that saw him nearly exit on the bubble.
The American high-stakes pro defeated fellow countryman Nick Petrangelo heads-up to claim the title. Petrangelo, who recently won the Triton Jeju $150,000 10th Anniversary Special for $2.2 million, had to settle for the $700,000 runner-up prize.
Saturday’s final table also featured GPI 2026 Money List leader Adrian Mateos, who finished fifth for $215,000, along with Jeremy Ausmus in fourth for $310,000. Alex Foxen, who held the chip lead for much of the final table, placed third for $450,000 before doubling Wilson into the lead.
The tournament attracted 28 entries, creating a $2,800,000 prize pool, and followed the Super High Roller Bowl $100,000 PLO event, where Sean Rafael topped Joao Simao for $1,150,000.
Wilson’s deep run nearly ended early when he jammed with a flush draw and an overcard against Kristen Foxen’s overpair on Day 2, with only five of six remaining players set to cash. He hit his overcard on the river, sending Foxen to the rail shortly after in a costly hand for the Foxen family. Wilson later scored another key double-up on Day 3, flopping ace-king against Alex Foxen’s pocket tens.
Heading into heads-up play, Wilson held a slim chip advantage. The decisive hand saw Petrangelo attempt a three-street bluff with an underpair, only for Wilson to call down with second pair and complete a straight.
