Mori Eskandani, President of PokerGO, expressed his excitement about the return of the Super High Roller Bowl to North Cyprus, stating:

"Since its debut in 2015, Super High Roller Bowl has stood as one of poker’s most prolific tournaments and has built an incredibly rich history in less than a decade’s time."

Eskandani highlighted the impressive prize money awarded by Super High Roller Bowl events, totalling over $168,000,000, with champions taking home more than $61,000,000 in prize money combined.

Super High Roller Bowl Champions

The last Super High Roller Bowl Series took place in September 2023. Isaac Haxton took down the $300K buy-in event before finishing as the runner-up to Jared Bleznick in the same series' PLO tournament.

Haxton became the third player to notch a second SHRB win. Justin Bonomo was the first player to pull off the double, with Timothy Adams being the second. Bonomo then became the only player to have three SHRB wins after taking down the Online edition during the pandemic.

Brian Rast was the inaugural SHRB winner, and his $7,525,000 first-place prize remains the biggest payout awarded in the event's history.
