BSOP Super High Roller Series Set to Crown First Champion in $10,000 SHR Invitational
The WTC Sheraton will welcome back players for Day 2 of the $10,000 Super High Roller Invitational today, as the 2025 BSOP Super High Roller Series looks to award its first trophy.
Having navigated yesterday’s split-field format, the surviving players now merge into a single field, with Day 2 set to determine the event’s champion.
With the separation between guests and professionals officially removed, the table dynamics are expected to shift quickly as contrasting play styles collide, though the atmosphere is likely to remain lively, with players fully embracing the spirit of the invitational.
Rafael Mota takes the lead into Day 2, and will start the day with 1,333,000, while Alisson Piekazewicz sits close behind on 1,098,000. Fabio Sanchez rounds out the podium with 1,070,000, making it a Brazilian clean sweep of the top three.

Perhaps the most notable member of the Brazilian contingent still in the field, the country's all-time money list leader, Yuri Dzivielevski, sits just outside the top ten in chips, entering Day 2 with 551,000.
The Brazilian firepower doesn’t stop there: five more players from the country’s top 15 all-time earners are also still in contention. The aforementioned Piekazewicz starts the day in second place with 1,098,000, followed by Pedro Padilha (901,000), Felipe Boianovsky (613,000), Kelvin Kerber (488,000), and Felipe Ramos (232,000).
Day 2 will start at 2:00 p.m. local time on Saturday, November 15, with reentry available until the end of the first level played.
The action will resume on Level 13, with blinds at 6,000/12,000 and a 12,000 big blind ante.
Fans can follow the action all the way to a champion being crowned, with Day 2 streamed on YouTube and Twitch following a 30-minute delay.
