The second edition of the $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB) Mixed Games presented by PokerGO takes place this weekend with several of the world’s top players vying for the prestigious title.
The six-figure buy-in event begins on Thursday with live streaming coverage on PokerGO. Mixed game experts, players Alex Livingston and Chris Vitch, will call the action along with host Ali Nejad.
Shifting away from the usual no-limit hold’em and Omaha presents a chance to shine for players whose strengths lie elsewhere.
The format features a 10-game rotation of limit, big-bet, stud, flop, and draw games. The selection of games notably includes Badugi, one of the more unusual lowball formats, and one that is often excluded from mixed-game tournaments.
Here’s the full list of games that will be in the rotation:
- No-limit hold’em
- Omaha hi-lo
- Seven-card stud
- No-limit 2-7 single draw
- Limit hold’em
- Badugi
- Stud hi-lo
- Pot-limit Omaha
- Limit 2-7 triple draw
- Razz
Eveslage Will Attempt to Defend the Crown
The first instalment of the $100,000 SHRB Mixed Games event took place last March. Chad Eveslage took down the title and the $1.2 million top prize, defeating Michael “Texas Mike” Moncek heads-up.
Eveslage coming out on top was not a surprise to anyone, as he is widely considered to be one of the very best mixed game players on the planet. He has four WSOP bracelets, three of them in mixed games. He most recently won the $25,000 Limit H.O.R.S.E High Roller bracelet in the 2025 WSOP. His other two mixed game bracelets came in Dealer’s Choice events.
Look for him to make a strong bid to defend his title.
Glaser and Negreanu Among Contenders
Five players cashed in the 29-entry field, including Yuri Dzivielevski in third, Daniel Negreanu in fourth, and Benny Glaser in fifth. All five of last year’s cashers will be serious contenders again in 2026.
Negreanu is ready for the event, which will be only the second tournament he has played so far in 2026. The popular poker legend is well-known for his well-rounded skills across all types of games. This mastery of all games was further confirmed in 2024, when he won the WSOP Poker Players Championship, which is generally recognized as the premier mixed-game event of the poker world.
Who can challenge Eveslage and Negreanu? Look no further than the player who won three bracelets at last summer’s WSOP, including two that came back-to-back in mixed game events. With that impressive feat under his belt, Benny Glaser will certainly be one of the favorites. Despite the three bracelets, he controversially did not win WSOP Player of the Year and will be on the hunt for other feathers to stick in his cap.
The eight-time bracelet winner will likely enjoy his greatest edge in Omaha hi-lo and 2-7 triple draw, as those are the two games in which he has won multiple bracelets.
Other Contenders
- Scott Seiver – The 2024 WSOP POY is one of the best Razz players in the world with two bracelets in the lowball game. He has seven bracelets overall, five of them in mixed games.
- Nick Schulman – The five-time bracelet winner is widely considered one of the best stud players in the world. He is also an elite NLH player and will likely have a bit of an edge over some of the other mixed-game specialists who are not as elite in the NLH streets.
- Brian Rast – The three-time Poker Players Championship winner is never to be counted out with all-around ability in each of the ten games.
