Spade trophies with Mid-High Buy ins
With buy ins on the more expensive side, high roller events tend to separate the pros from the masses. This creates much smaller fields filled with players battling it out for big prize money. If you want to test your skill against the elite, this is your chance to do so and lift one of the spadies on the mantle.
