On Sunday, the second installment of the Super High Roller Bowl at the ARIA Resort & Casino will kick off. Forty-nine high-rolling poker players will pony up the $300,000 buy-in to fight for a share of the $15 million prize pool.
With the event capped and sold out well in advance, on Saturday organizers held a draw for the starting tables and seats for each player. Phil Hellmuth did the honors, and the highlight was the positioning of Doug Polk and Jason Mercier. The two have been beefing lately and are now seated side by side at the table table.
