World's Elite To Rock The Felt At WPT Cambodia 20K SHR

The World Poker Tour's largest event in Asia is in full swing at the world class NagaWorld in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Nonstop poker action has been heating up the Grand Ballroom since February 6 and will run through February 24. A long list of players have already been crowned at the side events with more awaiting its champion.

Today, the most expensive tournament on the menu is set to light up the floor. For the first time, WPT Cambodia rolls out a $20,000 buy in Super High Roller designed for the creme de la creme of the poker world. Among those expected to play are Vadzim Lipauka, Konstantin Held, Hugues Girard, David Larson, Fabian Gumz, and back to back 10K Single Day Challenge champion, Daniel Neilson.

This is a two-day event that starts with a 250,000 stack and blinds increasing every 40 minutes. Players bag up at the end of 11 levels then return for the final day with two levels of late registration still available. Once that closes, the blinds increase every 60 minutes.

With WPT Prime taking over the Grand Ballroom early in the day, the 20K SHR gets on the felt in the afternoon. Cards start flying at 4pm local time.

Somuchpoker is onsite to bring you the action from start to finish so stick around.
