$50,000 Super High Roller (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 200/400 with a 50 Ante

There will be some serious business being handled in the meeting room today. A talented group of players will be in there working through a small, tough field in our $50,000 Super High Roller event with at least a $1,000,000 prize pool.

In November, the Super High Roller topped seven-digits and we put a $1,000,000 Guarantee on today’s event. Some of the top players in the game are in town for the World Poker Tour events starting on Friday and we’ll see some of them warm up with the big buy-in tournament.

The structure is deep and slow as expected with a tournament of this caliber. Players begin with 125,000 starting stacks and the tournament will run 40-minute levels at the start. Late registration is available until the start of Level 10 after the dinner break and re-entires are available during that time. Level lengths will switch up to 60 minutes after Level 11 and Day 1 will conclude after Level 16.

Those with chips will return tomorrow and play down to the Super High Roller champion.

It is sure to be an entertaining tournament and we will follow the action throughout the day.

Tomorrow we present the biggest buy-in tournament on the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown schedule and it will bring out some of the top players in the game as we head into the World Poker Tour events.

The $50,000 Super High Roller is a new event on the Showdown schedule this year and they will kick it off tomorrow at noon in the meeting room. It will be a smaller but talented field taking to the felt that will make for some entertaining, high-level poker.

The two-day tournament features a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, late registration until 7:30pm, and a slow structure worthy of the buy-in.

“The Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood is primed to host another first class event for poker’s elite,” said Tournament Director Tony Burns. “This is our second $50K High Roller in six months.”

High Roller specialist Ben “Ben86” Tollerene earned $495,228 for winning the $50,000 High Roller during the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” which ran its prize pool over $1,000,000.

We expect a great event when they will kick off the action at noon tomorrow.

If you wish to enter the $50,000 Super High Roller at a discounted price, we have a $5,100 Super High Roller satellite running at 5pm with one seat guaranteed.
