Poker Central®, your ultimate poker lifestyle destination, along with POKER PROductions and ARIA Resort & Casino, the stunning Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond Award-winning resort, today announced the return of the Super High Roller Bowl®.  

“The Super High Roller Bowl is the world championship of high stakes poker,” said Joe Kakaty, president of Poker Central. “Fans can now follow the action live, from start to finish.” 

The world’s top players are expected to return including Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Hellmuth and Tom Marchese, as well as the 2015 champion, Brian Rast. 

The 2017 Super High Roller Bowl projects a prize pool of $15 million* with a buy-in of $300,000. ARIA will begin accepting player deposits on Thursday, February 2. The tournament features seven, seven-handed tables with a cap of 50 players. ARIA reserved 15 seats for non-professional high rollers, including one celebrity guest.
