The World Poker Tour has confirmed that they will be featuring a Super High Roller event running May 18-19 that will feature a buy-in of $100,000. The event will be televised by FSN and will follow the WPT Championship $25k buy-in event that begins May 14th at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada. Early confirmed participants include Eric Seidel, Daniel Shak and Justin Smith.
Zimba analysis: The big question is can the recent surge of Super High Roller events be sustained and populated by players willing to regularly play for $100k buy-ins?
The Full Tilt Poker sponsored Onyx Cup Series starts on May 11th, on top of that are the WPT Championship ($25k buy-in) and the EPT Grand Final (10k Euro buy-in) .
There are likely less than 50 players in the world who can afford to play $100k buy-in tournaments, and it is unlikely that many will want to take the high variance route with their bankroll.
