Poker Central has announced plans to host the third Super High Roller Bowl in May. The $300,000 buy-in event will feature a 50-player cap and once again award $5m to the winner.

Poker Central, the defunct 24/7 poker TV show, and Mori Eskandani’s famed POKER PROductions, have announced plans to host the third successive Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB), 28-31 May 2017.

The event was born in 2015 when Brian Rast turned his 42 foes into mashed potatoes and mushy peas to win the $7.52m first prize in the $500,000 buy-in event. The following year, organisers shaved $200,000 off the buy-in, and Rainer Kempe stomped all over 49 entrants on his way to the $5m first prize. Erik Seidel made the final table of both finishing seventh and third respectively.
