The first-ever $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl: Mixed Games series is down to the final five players after two days of 10-game action at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas and Daniel Negreanu is among those chasing 'Texas Mike' Moncek for the $1.2 million top prize.
Super High Roller Bowl’s maiden voyage on SS Mixed Games drew 29 entrants and set up a $2,900,000 prize pool, all but guaranteeing a SHRB: Mixed Games II. The top five places will be paid at least $225,000, a situation that sent Day 2 down to the final table with Nick Schulman busting on the bubble to end the night. He had mixed emotions:
Meet the SHRB: Mixed Games final table
The quintet of finalists is led by Moncek in Seat 1 with just under 3 million in chips. Play will return in 51 minutes left in Level 17 and betting levels of 60K/120K. Negreanu, who joined Moncek at the top of the leaderboard after Day 1, will enter the day as the short stack. Benny Glaser, Chad Eveslage, and Yuri Dzivielevski round out the rest of the finalists.
Seat 1: Michael Moncek — 2,890,000
Texas Mike enters the final day in sixth on the overall PGT points leaderboard, having finished the PokerGO Cup with a first, second, and third-place finish. The self-named ‘recreational poker player’ called himself the “worst player in the mix tourney” on X after he bagged the chip lead on Day 1 with a huge three-way hand near the end of the night.
Moncek might call himself a rec and he may be outgunned in a $100K mixed games tournament in terms of experience, but he has an X factor that puts this so-called amateur among the pros at a high frequency.
Seat 2: Benny Glaser — 2,160,000
Benny Glaser cashed in four of the seven tournaments during this week’s PGT Mixed Games series with a high watermark of fourth place in the $10,200 H.O.R.S.E. event. The mixed games crusher has five WSOP bracelets, all in mixed variants that will be played in today’s 10-game rotation.
Playing in mixed fields means that Glaser is rarely, if ever, gunning for a seven-figure top prize. A win would be his second-highest score, behind only his runner-up finish in the 2022 WPT World Championship in Las Vegas for $2.8 million. Glaser’s previous high score in a mixed field is his fourth-place finish in the 2022 Poker Player’s Championship for $464K.
Seat 3: Chad Eveslage — 1,240,000
Chad Eveslage had a single cash in the PGT Mixed Games meet with a 14th-place finish in the $5,100 8-Game early in the series. He has been relatively quiet otherwise in PGT events with no cashes on tour since the 2024 WSOP.
The three-time bracelet winner will return in the middle of the pack, but Eveslage is big trouble in a lot of poker games. His last two tournament victories were back-to-back bracelets in 2023, both in Dealer's Choice.
Seat 4: Daniel Negreanu — 1,110,000
Negreanu already picked up his first victory of 2025 in the Dealer's Choice tilt of the PGT Mixed Games series. It was also his first win in the Dealer's Choice format, which offers over 20 different poker games in one tournament. This event has just ten games, but Negreanu is a world-beater in most of them.
The seven-time bracelet winner has $54.8 million in lifetime earnings, according to The Hendon Mob, and his most recent WSOP title was in the $50,000 PPC at the 2024 series — the same ten-game format as SHRB: Mixed Games. Negreanu entered that tournament's final day in second place behind Chris Brewer. He will be the short stack today, but Moncek is a wild card at the top.
Seat 5: Yuri Dzivielevski — 1,285,000
Yuri Dzivielevki hadn't cashed in a tournament since November of 2024 when he stopped by the PokerGO Studios for the PGT Mixed Games series, where he cashed twice and finished third behind Negreanu in the $15,200 Dealer's Choice. Dzivielevski is a 33-year-old future Poker Hall of Famer with five bracelets across a variety of events, including the 2024 $3K 9-Game Mix, the 2023 $1,500 H.O.R.S.E., and a $2,500 Omaha Mix in 2019.
The Brazilian pro can do it all and he's a frequent visitor at final tables throughout the mixed schedule every summer. A win today would be his best-ever cash, beating a runner-up finish for $895K in the 2022 PPC.
The final day of the $100K SHRB: Mixed Games will kick off at 1 pm PT, with a livestream starting on PokerGO and other platforms at 2 pm PT.
