Americas Cardroom pro Chris Moneymaker has secured a $170,850 payout after winning the BIG Fatty 6-Max tournament, a result that came amid a series of high-value events currently underway on the platform.
The tournament formed one stop of the ongoing Highest Five series, which features multiple high buy-in competitions and prize pools that consistently range from six to seven figures. The BIG Fatty 6-Max event generated a total prize pool of $510,000 and attracted a competitive field during a period of intensified online poker activity.
Across the schedule, the series has produced several large prize pools, including a $1.325 million total for the Phil’s Puff & Bluff event, along with multiple tournaments surpassing the $400,000 mark. Entry fees for select events have reached as high as $25,500.
Moneymaker, widely recognized for winning the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event, continues to participate actively in both live and online poker circuits. His latest result follows a recent $903,000 win at a Triton Poker event, indicating continued involvement at the top end of competitive play.
