The 2024 Super High Roller Series is currently playing out at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Spa in North Cyprus. The highlight of the series is the $306,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl IX, which attracted 24 entrants. That made it the 12th-largest field in SHRB history.

Day 1 of the tournament played eight levels and some early eliminations were Masashi Oya, Leon Tsoukernik, and Artur Martirosian, while the legendary Phil Ivey busted after his two pair was outdrawn on the river by Alex Kulev’s flush draw. Some others to fall on Day 1 were Daniel Dvoress, Nick Petrangelo, Mikita Badziakouski, Brian Kim, Adrian Mateos, and Matthias Eibinger.

Leonard Maue led the 14 survivors into Day 2, but 10 of them would hit the rail before the money was made. They included Kulev, Bryn Kenney, Sam Greenwood, Thomas Santerne, Ben Heath, Martin Kabrhel, Lewis Spencer, Santhosh Suvarna, and recent Poker Hall of Fame inductee Patrik Antonius.

On the money bubble with just five players remaining, Dejan Kaladjurdjevic jammed with ace-deuce in the small blind, and Maue called with fives in the hole. The pocket fives held up and Kaladjurdjevic exited as the bubble boy and brought a close to the day’s action.
