Mikita Badziakouski To Start Final Day of Play With Chip Lead
Published on May 30th, 2018 10:36 am EST
Six players - Mikita Badziakouski, Daniel Negreanu, Justin Bonomo, Jason Koon, Nick Petrangelo and Christoph Vogelsang - will be battling it out for the first place prize of $5 million when the final day of action in the Super High Roller Bowl begins on Wednesday afternoon. All six of the players are guaranteed a minimum of $900,000 for making it through to the final day. The winner, as mentioned, will take home $5 million, while the runner-up will receive $3,000,000. Five of the six players will receive million dollar plus paydays.
The final table is obviously stacked.
Daniel Negreanu, who is #1 on the all-time money list with total tournament cashes of over $36.5 million, has been near the top of the leaderboard for virtually the entire tournament. Negreanu is playing with a great deal of confidence right now and is looking to start his summer off with a win.
Justin Bonomo is on an incredible run right now, as he has compiled nearly $10 million in cashes over the last six months. This includes numerous six figure cashes and a payday of nearly $5 million in the Super High Roller Bowl China. It would be quite something for Bonomo to win another Super High Roller Bowl this year. Bonomo would leap from #5 to #3 on the all-time money list with a win later today.
As if that weren't enough, Jason Koon has been on a massive tear as of late as well, as he cashed for nearly $3.6 million in a Short Deck event at the Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro just a week ago. In addition, Koon has posted a number of high six-figure cashes in 2018.
