The World Poker Tour will be hosting a $100,000 Super High Roller Event during the upcoming WPT World Championship series at Bellagio in Las Vegas.
The tournament will run May 18-19 with a $100,000 buy-in, the largest in WPT History, and will be filmed for broadcast on FSN.
With the biggest names in the game already competing at Bellagio for the WPT World Championship May 14-20, organizers believe the event is sure to attract premier players and generate a massive prize pool.
Hall of famer Erik Seidel is among those already confirmed to play.
He became live tournament poker’s all-time leading money winner earlier this year finishing third in a $100k buy-in event at the Aussie Millions before winning the series’ $250k buy-in, the LA Poker Classic’s $25k High Roller and the NBC National Heads-Up Championship.
“Hosting a hundred thousand dollar buy-in event within the WPT World Championship series means the world’s elite players have a chance to show their mettle as they battle for one of the year’s most coveted titles and one of the highest buy-in titles, all within a single week,” said WPT CEO Steve Heller.
