Screening of this Year’s Super High Roller Poker Contest
This was published 15-05-2016Following an extremely successful debut last year, the Super High Roller Poker Tournament will be returning to the Aria Resort and Casino at the end of this month and according to a press review, all 49 seats were officially sold out a couple of months ago.
Clint Stinchcomb, Chief Executive Officer of Poker Central, which will be streaming and broadcasting the event, revealed that the speed at which this exciting event sold out is evidence of the popularity of the Super High Roller Bowl and of Poker itself. He added that with some of the most famous and exciting players already locked in, the Super High Roller Bowl is going to be riveting to watch.
Among the players confirmed for this year’s event are last year’s champion player Brian Rast, Daniel Negreunu, Jason Mercier, all-time bracelet leader Phil Hellmuth and $1 Million One Drop winners Antonio Esfandiari and Dan Colman.
According to Sean McCormack, ARIA Director of Poker Operations, he has never seen a high-stakes tournament sell out three months in advance. He added that it is unprecedented and that they also have a significant waiting list.
The 49 talented high rollers have each contributed an amount of $300,000 in rake-free prize money while sponsors have added an additional amount of $300,000.
The Super High Roller Bowl is scheduled to commence on Sunday, 29th May, 2016, which is shortly before the World Series of Poker commences, and will take place over four days.
The event is bound to attract a huge audience with $15 million in guaranteed prizes and the 49 players who have contributed $300,000 apiece to compete against each other.
Although Poker Central will be screening this great event, the CBS Sports Network has indicated that it will also be devoting 30 hours of televised screen time to the contest.
