High Stakes and Big Names: The $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl at Aria Casino
The $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl tournament started on May 28, 2017, at the Aria Casino. The tournament had a prize pool of $16,800,000 with 56 players. The first prize was six million dollars. The starting stack was 300,000 chips, and the structure was slow with blinds starting at 500/1,000 and an ante of 1,000.
Igor Kurganov represented Russia in the tournament. Notable participants included Phil Hellmuth, a 14-time WSOP bracelet winner, and comedian Kevin Hart. Leon Tsukernik, the owner of the Rosvado Casino, showed a different approach to strategy, focusing on the strength of combinations only on the river.
Byron Caverman, Leon Tsukernik, and Fedor Holz were among the leaders after the first day. The second day of the tournament saw Dan Colman give his stack to Leon Tsukernik, highlighting the intense competition and high stakes involved.

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.
