All 49 spots in the $300,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl tournament are now filled. The event will take place at the Aria Casino in Las Vegas with a prizepool of $15,000,000 and a first place prize of $5,000,000.
The Super High Roller Bowl was the biggest tournament in 2015 with 43 players paying the $500,000 buy-in, creating a $21,500,000 prize pool. The $7,525,000 first place prize was won by Brian Rast who defeated Scott Seiver in heads-up.
This year's Super High Roller Bowl will run between May 29 - June 1 with a $300,000 buy-in and all 49 spots in the tournament are already filled.
Players had to pay a non-refundable deposit of $30,000 to register for the event so it's highly unlikely that one of the players changes their minds about entering.
Sean McCormack, the director of Aria stated that no other high stakes tournament has ever filled up so early in history before.
The organizers don't charge any rake for the event, quite the contrary, they are adding $300,000 to the prize pool, creating a $15,000,000 prize pool with $5,000,000 for the winner.
