The Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB) arose in the post-boom years, at a time when online poker was declining, and the game’s elite were looking for live events worthy of their attention. For those accustomed to nosebleed play online, there was not much outside the WSOP worth traveling for, so the era of Super High Rollers was born.

The inaugural Big One For One Drop in 2012 proved that the interest in such events was there. Although most subsequent super high rollers have stayed below that event’s million-dollar price tag, six-figure prices have become common. SHRB began with a $500,000 buy-in for its Main Event, but soon lowered it. Now, most of its events range between $100,000 and $300,000. 

SHRB emerged in 2015 to address that demand. It was followed a year later by the Triton Poker Tour

Initially an annual event at the ARIA, SHRB began adding events and became an international tour in 2018.

SHRB events are sponsored and broadcast by the PokerGO streaming service.
