As the year’s most elite tournament, the Super High Roller Bowl is familiar with star power. Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, and poker’s biggest names compete, but there was an even bigger star in the Super High Roller Bowl galaxy in 2017. World-renowned comedian and actor Kevin Hart dominated the headlines and action on the feature table for two days, bringing fun and excitement to the $300,000 buy-in event.

After eliminating Phil Hellmuth on Day 1, Hart faced some stiff competition on the feature table during Day 2. One of his opponents was 2015 Super High Roller Bowl champion Brian Rast and “The King” had a chance to eliminate Hart during one of their first confrontations. The river kept Hart alive though, allowing him to double up and celebrate like no one has ever celebrated a double up before.
