The Super High Roller Bowl series is coming back to Europe starting August 23, 2021. The series will sport nine events starting from $25,000 and going up to a $250,000 Main Event on August 30. These dates just dodge competing with the WSOP in the fall.

All of the events are either no-limit hold'em or no-limit short deck. The Main Event will be NLH.

"Super High Roller Bowl events represent poker’s highest level of competition, featuring star players, enormous buy-ins, and millions of dollars on the line," Mori Eskandani, President of PokerGO, said in a press release. "We proudly invite poker fans from all across the world to enjoy all of the incredible high-stakes action with live streaming on PokerGO. We are also happy to welcome for the very first time our new international payments partner Luxon Pay."

Poker King and Merit Poker are the other two headlining partners of PokerGO for this event.

Songul Bekem, President of Merit Poker, said: "We are thrilled to welcome the exclusive Super High Roller Bowl Europe series to Merit Royal Hotel Casino & Spa. This series will be unlike anything we have ever offered before and we’re incredibly honored to take part in the next chapter in Super High Roller Bowl history."

New location

The series will be taking place at the Merit Royal Hotel Casino & Spa in Northern Cyprus. The Merit Royal has a five-star hotel resort just a twenty-minute drive from Ercan Airport.

It should probably be noted that Northern Cyprus is a de facto state made up of the more Turkish (as opposed to more Greek) part of the island. The full list of entities that recognize it as a nation right now is pretty much just the Turkish government and PokerGO. Players should account for the region's geopolitical idiosyncrasies when planning their travel.

"PokerGO is excited to return to Europe with the prestigious Super High Roller Bowl series and showcase the game’s premier talent at a new destination in Northern Cyprus," Eskandani added.
