The Super High Roller Bowl is returning to Las Vegas next month and will take place during the Super High Roller Series inside PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino.
Super High Roller Bowl XI, a $103,000 buy-in no-limit Hold'em event, will kick off on Oct. 8, while a pot-limit Omaha version of the event, the $103,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl PLO IV, will get underway a few days earlier on Oct. 5.
A Storied Event
The Super High Roller Series will kick off on Oct. 3 with a $10,300 SHRB PLO Milestone Satellite before a $25,000 NLH/PLO event a few days later.
Both the Super High Roller Bowl PLO IV and Super High Roller Bowl XI events, which are expected to draw some of the best high-stakes players in the world of both disciplines, will kick off at 1 p.m. local time and offer a $3,000 discount to players who register early.
Both six-figure events are three-day tournaments and will feature 60-minute levels on Day 1 and then 75-minute levels for the duration of the events.
Two $25,000 NLH events will close out the Super High Roller Series on Oct. 9 and Oct. 10.
The Super High Roller Bowl, which in previous years has run at the $500,000 and $300,000 price points, has an impressive list of former champions, including poker superstar Daniel Negreanu, who won the 2022 edition for $3.3 million as he defeated Nick Petrangelo.
Isaac Haxton won his second SHRB title in 2023 for $2.8 million, while fellow American pro Seth Davies won the 2024 edition for $3.2 million after defeating Spanish high-stakes pro Juan Pardo.
Most recently, Brazilian crusher Joao Simao ran hot to best future Poker Hall of Famer Jason Koon in the 2025 edition to win $1.1 million.
It was a sign of big things to come for Simao. The Brazilian would go on to win his first Triton title and third World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet at 2025 WSOP Paradise before winning a fourth bracelet and $1.4 million in $50,000 High Roller PLO at the 2026 WSOP.
And earlier this month, Simao won the $200,000 Triton Invitational at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II for $7.2 million — the biggest tournament score ever for a Brazilian. He'd finish out the series in South Korea by chopping the $150,000 Anniversary Special for $2.5 million.
