Kevin Hart Brings Laughter to PokerStars Super High Roller in Monte-Carlo
Comedian Kevin Hart participated in the PokerStars Super High Roller tournament in Monte-Carlo, bringing his unique humor to the event. Hart, known for his stand-up comedy and having 35 million followers on Twitter, earned approximately 70 million dollars in 2016. He signed a sponsorship deal with PokerStars, which included two entries into the 100,000 euro buy-in tournament.
The tournament started with a level of 500-1,000, with an ante of 100. The starting stack was 250,000 chips, and each level lasted one hour. Notable players included Daniel Negreanu, Igor Kurganov, and Byron Caveman. Negreanu tweeted about the time constraints during the tournament, expressing gratitude for the time bank system.
Igor Kurganov eliminated Kevin Hart from the tournament. Hart, who had a starting stack of 250,000 chips, was eliminated by Kurganov on the seventh level. The tournament featured a unique time bank system, where each player had three additional 30-second intervals that reset at the start of each day.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
