The Onyx High Roller Series in Northern Cyprus has been played out in style this week and among the big winners has been the PokerStake player David Coleman. With a handful of events remaining, Coleman, Dietrich Fast and Vladas Tamasauskas each have another chance to win big and so do you if you back them.

We’ve broken down the numbers and how you could join them in the winner’s circle this weekend.

David Coleman on the Charge

With a stunning win in last night’s $15,300 6-Max event at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa, David Coleman took home a top prize of $270,000 for him and his investors on PokerStake. Originally slated for a two-day tournament, the event wrapped inside one with 62 entries whittled down to a deserving winner.

Taking the title after beating Italian cash game grinder Italo Modena heads-up, Coleman’s result was the pick of an event with a $892,800 prize pool where nine players cashed. These included Nick Seward, who finished in fifth place for a score of $67,400, while the British player Ravi Sheth scraped into fourth place for $94,000. Aleksandr Kirichenko missed out in third for $128,000.

Coleman will be playing Event #7 next, which is a $30,300 Single Re-entry High Roller, although he is only selling one bullet to this event at a markup of 1.10. He’s selling two bullets to the Onyx High Roller Championship, Event #8 on the schedule, which costs $50,500 to play, however, and with those bullets at 1.08 and 1.07 markup respectively, we recommend taking a piece of both and sweating along with David during those events.

Fast Start for Dietrich

The German high roller Dietrich Fast (above) is also playing both of those events, but while David Coleman is selling two bullets to the High Roller Championship, Fast’s package on sale this week only includes a single entry to each event. In the Onyx Single Re-entry Event #7, Fast is selling 40% of his $30,300 buy-in at a markup of just 1.04.

The same is true for his Onyx High Roller Championship Event #8 markup, but this time, Fast is selling just 30% of his action, so you’ll need to get in quickly. Registering for a PokerStake account is easy, taking just a few minutes before putting you in charge of who you invest in and how much you decide to invest.

Fast’s track record at big European high roller events is an enviable one and in recent years, his clinical approach to tournaments has yielded big profits. Fast is definitely one to watch not just over the next few days in Northern Cyprus but across the rest of 2026 as he looks to press his considerable edge at the live felt and in turn, make some good money for his PokerStake investors.

Tamasauskas’s Latest Tournament

The Lithuanian poker pro Vladas Tamasauskas (above) sits on the cusp of $5m in total live tournament earnings and could move past that historic point in his poker career with a result in the Onyx High Roller Championship. Playing in the $50,500 event, the Lithuanian is selling at no markup at all and as such is incredible value to do well at the felt.

Cashing 11 times since the start of the 2026 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, Vlad made eight cash finishes at the WSOP felt, winning a total of $266,000 if you add in the $32,105 he won for running deep in the Wynn Summer Championship during the same period. Coming sixth in the $10,000 WSOP 6-Max Championship Event #94, Vlad’s relentless energy and fierce determination were there for all to see.

Not resting on his laurels for second, Vlad then travelled to Tallinn in Estonia after the WSOP’s conclusion, finishing seventh and fifth in two WSOP International Circuit events. With his last three in-the-money finishes in ranking live tournaments all being at final tables, this class act in poker is on the up and we tip him for big things in the coming months.
