However there\u2019s no need to feel bad for the 2016 WSOP One Drop High Roller winner, since there was one a slight difference between 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> place prizes. Fedor received $1,067,639.40 for the second place, while the winner \u00a0earned $1,172,360.60. Prior to the start of heads-up play Fedor made a deal with the eventual champ.<\/p>\n On Monday, at the beginning of Day Two, there were six finalists left of the 28 players that entered the tournament and only three would receive a prize. Early on Isaac \u201cphilivey2694\u201d Haxton and Mikita \u201cfish2013\u201d Badziakouski were eliminated by Fedor.<\/p>\n Haxton, the bubble boy, lost when Fedor hit a flush. And Then, there were Salman \u201csalfishhb\u201d Behbehani, \u201cbencb789\u201d, Fedor \u201cCrownUpGuy\u201d Holz in the fight for the $2.8 million prize pool.<\/p>\n On Day Two, Behbehani had the chip lead, but the stack difference was not much. This advantage did not last long either. His ace-king got stacked by \u201cbencb789\u201dace-queen. \u00a0Then a heads-up deal was made between \u201cbencb789\u201d and Holz.<\/p>\n This is the fourth tournament since June 1, where the German pro has won at least $1 million.<\/p>\n Holz won also:<\/p>\n The 23-year old won four other prizes of at least $275,000.
