The final table is set in the $300,000 buy-in 2018 Super High Roller Bowl V. The second running of this ultra high stakes no-limit hold’em poker tournament attracted 36 total entries to build a prize pool of $10,800,000. After two full days of action, the field has been narrowed to just seven players remaining with a shot at the SHRB championship ring and the $3,672,000 first-place prize.
As you would expect in such a prestigious event, the final table is stacked with elite talent. The remaining seven players have combined live tournaments earnings of more than $85 million dollars, with four World Series of Poker bracelets and a plethora of high roller titles between them. Five of the players still contending in this event are among the top 25 in this year’s Card Player Player of the Year race standings, which means this huge event is certain to make a big impact on the leaderboard heading into the final weeks of 2018.
The chip leader at the end of the night is Isaac Haxton (pictured above). Haxton moved into the lead toward the end of the night and was nearly surpassed by Stephen Chidwick in the final hand of the evening. Chidwick won a coin flip to eliminate Mikita Badziakouski The Belarusian raised to 40,000 with blinds of 10,000-15,000 and a 15,000 big-blind ante, having picked up the A

With that, the remaining seven all locked up at least a $540,000 payday. The top four finishers in this event will cash for seven figures. The final table will resume at the PokerGO studios at the Aria Las Vegas, with action getting underway 1:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday, Dec. 19. Play will continue until a champion is decided.
