In case you missed it, the Super High Roller Bowl kicked off on Tuesday at partypoker. The series will feature 29 events ranging in buy-ins from $10,300 up to $102,000 for the Super High Roller Bowl.

Over the first two days, 12 events were played to conclusion. Several big names took down online titles, including Chris Hunichen, Pascal Lefrancois, Daniel Dvoress, Dan Smith, Justin Bonomo, and Viktor Blom.

Chris Hunichen Defeats Viktor Blom to Take Event #2

Jans Arends took down the opening event of the Super High Roller Bowl, but Event #2 boasted an epic heads-up duel. Viktor “Isildur1” Blom made it heads-up against Chris Hunichen. The pair battled hard and in the end, it was Hunichen coming out on top, earning $479,250.

Mikalai Vaskaboinkau Defeats Kristen Bicknell for Event #4 Title

With the Super High Roller Bowl online, we will see champions we would not normally see in Las Vegas. Mikalai Vaskaboinkau is one such player. He took down Event #4 that featured a final table including poker power couple Alex Foxen and Kristen Bicknell.

Foxen only managed a fifth-place finish while his better half made it heads-up. She ultimately fell short, taking home $185,500. Vaskaboinkau took down his first Super High Roller Bowl title and $293,090.

Pascal Lefrancois Wins Event #6

The sixth event, the $10k Six-Max NL Hold’em, featured an awesome final table that included Alex Foxen, Dan Smith, Nick Petrangelo, Chris Hunichen, and Pascal Lefrancois. Lefrancois is hot off of a victory at Poker Masters Online in April.

Lefrancois took down yet another online title, defeating Alex Foxen heads-up for the victory and $259,629.
