The importance of the Super High Roller Bowl is evident in the rush of the world's best poker players into the tournament. Since it was held in 2017, participants in Las Vegas have therefore had to be determined through a lottery procedure.

"There's nothing bigger or better than the Super High Roller Bowl. It's the 'Main Event' of all the High Rollers. "
