Super High Roller Bowl Online Series Brings $20 Million in Guarantees to partypoker

Poker Central today announced that its premier poker tournament, the Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB), will hold a series of tournaments online through partypoker’s platform. This comes on the heels of Poker Central’s Poker Masters Online (PMO) tournament, also held on partypoker, where the guaranteed prize money of $16.5M was doubled when the tournament concluded with a total prize pool of $35.4M. The winner of Poker Masters Online, Alexandros Kolonias, was awarded the coveted Poker Masters Purple Jacket and a $50,000 cash prize on top of his total earnings of $1.2M+, which included 11 total cashes.

Poker Masters Online saw an incredible turnout with over 124 unique competitors recording at least one result throughout the series. The top contenders for the Purple Jacket included the Super High Roller Bowl Australia and Russia winner Timothy Adams, Global Poker Index No. 1 ranked Alex Foxen, Super High Roller Bowl IV winner Justin Bonomo, and partypoker ambassador Jason Koon. The final tables of the Poker Masters Online series were live-streamed on PokerGO’s Facebook page and remain to be available on-demand.

“I was up against a group of top-notch competitors during Poker Masters Online, so winning the tournament and getting my hands on that Purple Jacket was a huge honor,” said Alexandros Kolonias, winner of the PMO Tournament. “Hosting the Super High Roller Bowl on the same platform as PMO is enticing, as it will give poker players another virtual opportunity to test their skills and possibly go all the way like I did!”
