In 2015, the first ever Super High Roller Bowl attracted a field of 43 players despite its massive buy-in of $500,000 (Brian Rast received more than $7.5 million for winning the tournament). The team behind the SHRB has now announced that this year's edition will have a buy-in of $300,000 and feature seven 7-handed tables with a 49-seats cap - with 14 seats being reserved by Aria for non-professional.
This means that "only" 35 seats are open for other players. According to the SHRB website, the eight all-time money leaders in poker are expected to participate, including Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari and Daniel Negreanu.
