The Super High Roller Bowl got its start in 2015. The event was announced in April 2015, and the first tournament was played three months later in July. With its enormous buy-in and exclusive group of players, Super High Roller Bowl immediately became one of the most captivating and popular tournaments on the poker calendar.
The SHRB’s first home was Las Vegas, Nevada, and that’s where the tournament has been held most often. The event has traveled to plenty of other locations, though, including China, London, the Bahamas, Australia, Russia, and Cyprus. There was also a special SHRB Online event held in 2020. Over the years, the Super High Roller Bowl buy-in has been between $102,000 and $500,000.
The Super High Roller Bowl is an ultra high-stakes poker tournament with a six-figure buy-in. The first-ever Super High Roller Bowl took place in July 2015 and had a $500,000 buy-in. That inaugural event attracted 43 entries and generated a $21,500,000 prize pool. Brian Rast was the winner of that first-ever SHRB event, taking home $7,525,000.
When the PokerGO Tour (PGT) launched in 2021, the Super High Roller Bowl instantly landed itself on the PGT schedule and became one of the most coveted PGT titles. In addition to winning a multi-million-dollar first-place prize, Super High Roller Bowl winners are awarded a prestigious championship ring. In the PGT era of the Super High Roller Bowl, winners include Wiktor Malinowski, Michael Addamo, Jake Schindler, and Daniel Negreanu.
Viewers from around the world can enjoy watching the Super High Roller Bowl on PokerGO. Past broadcasts are available on demand and upcoming airings can be found on the PokerGO broadcast schedule once details are released.
In 2015, the first-ever Super High Roller Bowl was held at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The $500,000 buy-in tournament was one of the largest buy-in events the poker world had ever seen, and 43 players joined the competition to create a $21,500,000 prize pool. Brian Rast won the event for a monstrous sum of $7,525,000.
Rast defeated Scott Seiver in heads-up play, with Seiver taking home $5,160,000. Connor Drinan finished third for $3,225,000, with the result coming just about one year after Drinan lost aces versus aces to Cary Katz in the WSOP $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop.
Rounding out the in-the-money results were Timofey Kuznetsov in fourth for $2,150,000, David Peters in fifth for $1,505,000, Tom Marchese in sixth for $1,075,000, and Erik Seidel in seventh for $860,000.
The second edition of the Super High Roller Bowl took place at the same location as the first one, at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The buy-in was adjusted to $300,000 and a field size of 49 entries was generated. Up top was a $5,000,000 first-place prize and it was Rainer Kempe winning it all.
Kempe triumphed over Fedor Holz in the final duel, with Holz earning $3,500,000 for his second-place finish. Erik Seidel placed third for $2,400,000, having made the money in the first two Super High Roller Bowl events ever held.
Others to cash in Super High Roller Bowl II in 2016 were Phil Hellmuth in fourth place for $1,600,000, Matt Berkey in fifth place for $1,100,000, Bryn Kenney in sixth place for $800,000, and Dan Shak in seventh place for $600,000.
A field of 56 entries was in play for Super High Roller Bowl III in 2017. Each player put up a $300,000 buy-in to generate a $16,800,000 prize pool. Christoph Vogelsang captured top honors, walking away with a $6,000,000 score.
Jake Schindler finished second for $3,600,000 and then Vogelsang’s countryman, Stefan Schillhabel, placed third for $2,400,000.
Outside of the top three, Leon Tsoukernik took fourth for $1,800,000, Byron Kaverman got fifth for $1,400,000, Pratyush Buddiga was sixth for $1,000,000, and Justin Bonomo was seventh for $600,000.
It was a momentous year for the Super High Roller Bowl in 2018. This was the first year the brand had taken itself international, with Super High Roller Bowl China happening in March. This was also the year that Justin Bonomo won two Super High Roller Bowl titles in consecutive events.
At Super High Roller Bowl China, 75 entries competed at Babylon Casino in Macau, each ponying up the buy-in of HK$2,100,000 ($267,736). In the end, Bonomo beat Patrik Antonius to win the title and take home the lion’s share of the prize pool. Bonomo won HK$37,830,000 ($4,823,077) for the victory.
Antonius picked up HK$24,735,000 ($3,153,551) for finishing in second place. Rainer Kempe, winner of Super High Roller Bowl II, placed third for HK$16,005,000 ($2,040,533).
After his big victory at Super High Roller Bowl China, Bonomo did the unthinkable and won Super High Roller Bowl IV in Las Vegas two months later. In that $300,000 buy-in event, Bonomo topped a field of 48 entries, including a heads-up match with Daniel Negreanu, to win the title. Bonomo won $5,000,000.
Finishing second to Bonomo earned Negreanu $3,000,000, with Jason Koon rounding out the podium in third place for $2,100,000. Christoph Vogelsang, winner of Super High Bowl III, placed fifth for $1,200,000.
The Super High Roller Bowl wasn’t done in 2018 just yet, as one more event would take place at the end of the year. In December, Super High Roller Bowl V was held at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. A field of 36 entries were in action for $300,000 each. In the end, it was Isaac Haxton beating Alex Foxen to claim the $3,672,000 first-place prize.
Foxen picked up $2,160,000 for his second-place finish. Stephen Chidwick, who was making his third consecutive Super High Roller Bowl cash after placing sixth in Super High Roller Bowl China and seventh in Super High Roller Bowl IV, finished third for $1,512,000.
The Super High Roller Bowl expanded even further in 2019, with events in London, England, and the Bahamas. The events took place in September and November, respectively.
First up was Super High Roller Bowl London. The £252,500 ($312,650) buy-in event attracted 12 entries. Only the top two finishers would make the money at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford, and in the end it was Cary Katz against Ali Imsirovic for the title. Katz came out on top to win the £2,100,000 ($2,610,317) first-place prize.
The Super High Roller Bowl then traveled to the Bahamas for a $250,000 buy-in tournament at Baha Mar in Nassau. The field grew to 51 entries and generated a $12,750,000 prize pool. Canadien Daniel Dvoress won the event for $5,080,000.
Wai Leong Chan finished second in Super High Roller Bowl Bahamas for $2,677,500. Kathy Lehne became the first female player to make the money when she finished third for $1,785,000.
Other highlights from Super High Roller Bowl Bahamas include Erik Seidel placing fourth for $1,275,000 and Justin Bonomo finishing eighth for $510,000.
It was another big year of firsts for the Super High Roller Bowl in 2020. The event took place in two brand new locations, first in Australia and then in Russia, and then the Super High Roller Bowl had an online tournament with a six-figure buy-in.
Super High Roller Bowl Australia was the first of three Super High Roller Bowl events in 2020. It had a buy-in of A$250,000 ($167,230) and drew a field of 16 entries. Timothy Adams topped them all to the tune of A$2,160,000 ($1,446,112).
After Australia, Super High Roller Bowl Russia took place a month later. The field was 40 entries strong for $250,000 each. The winner was a very familiar face, as Adams successfully went back to back for $3,600,000 in prize money.
Adams topped Christoph Vogelsang in heads-up play, with Vogelsang winning $2,400,000. Mikita Badziakouski placed third for $1,600,000.
In June, The first-ever Super High Roller Bowl Online was held. The $102,000 buy-in event had a field size of 50 entries. When the dust had settled, Justin Bonomo proved to be the last player standing, winning his third Super High Roller Bowl title and $1,775,000.
The 2021 Super High Roller Bowl Europe, sponsored by Luxon Pay and GGPoker, attracted 41 entries and generated a prize pool of $10,250,000. Poland’s Wiktor Malinowski topped them all, defeating Ivan Leow in heads-up play and winning $3,690,000 in prize money. The event had six players reach the money. Behind Malinowski and Leow, 20-year-old Zhuang Ruan finished third, two-time Super High Roller Bowl titleholder Timothy Adams took fourth, two-time U.S. Poker Open champion David Peters placed fifth, and Russia’s Viacheslav Buldygin was sixth.
Following Super High Roller Bowl Europe, the PokerGO Tour presented by Guaranteed Rate headed back to Las Vegas for the 2021 Poker Masters. Michael Addamo showed up for the back half of the Poker Masters and won the final two events for a combined $1,840,000 and the Purple Jacket. After that, Addamo went on to win Super High Roller Bowl VI for $3,402,000. He topped a field of 21 entries in Super High Roller Bowl VI and completed a two-week heater that saw him win a combined $5,242,000. Addamo beat Justin Bonomo in heads-up play, denying Bonomo a fourth Super High Roller Bowl title.
The Super High Roller Bowl VI win also pushed Addamo ahead of Joe Hachem at the top of Australia’s all-time money list, as tracked by TheHendonMob.com.
Arguably the greatest poker player of all time, Daniel Negreanu topped all competitors in Super High Roller Bowl VII in Las Vegas to win $3,312,000. Negreanu’s victory was quite a dominating one. He built a big stack early and was among the chip leaders, if not the chip leader, for much of the duration of the tournament.
Along the way to the winner’s circle, Negreanu played a wildly exciting hand against Bryn Kenney. This memorable hand saw Negreanu go runner-runner quads against Kenney’s flopped top set of aces that turned into a full house. The money went in on the river, only for Kenney to see the bad news that Negreanu was holding one of just two hands that beat him.
At the final table of the 24-entry event, Negreanu defeated Nick Petrangelo in heads-up play. Andrew Lichtenberger finished third, and Justin Bonomo placed fourth.
Negreanu has never missed competing in a Super High Roller Bowl in Las Vegas. In 2018, he placed second in the event for $3,000,000, bested by only Bonomo.
Super High Roller Bowl VIII belonged to Isaac Haxton, as he won his second Super High Roller Bowl championship ring and $2,760,000 in prize money. The event attracted 20 players to create a $6,000,000 prize pool. Haxton had a commanding lead entering the final day of play, and he was able to ride that chip lead to a victory.
After Chris Brewer was knocked out on the money bubble, Jason Koon min-cashed for $600,000. Then, 2023 Poker Masters champion Stephen Chidwick busted in third place for $960,000.
Haxton got heads up with Andrew Lichtenberger, who was cashing in the event for a second consecutive year after finishing third the year prior. Lichtenberger took a slight chip lead on a couple of occasions during the heads-up match, but it truly was Haxton's day. Lichtenberger finished runner-up and took home $1,680,000. Haxton claimed the $2,760,000 first-place prize and is now the winner of Super High Roller Bowl V and Super High Roller Bowl VIII. With the win, he joined Justin Bonomo and Timothy Adams as the players to have won multiple SHRB titles to date.
