The poker world has definitely been taken over by the high roller phenomenon \u2013 and it\u2019s unlikely to stop because of the following reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AkkariTV<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JTW0FUVkBOI?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Huge Prize Pools<\/h3>\nWith whopping sums up for grabs at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/high-stakes-online-poker\">high-stakes tournaments<\/a>, poker professionals cannot pass up the opportunity to win millions in a short period of time \u2013 bigger buy-ins result in more winnings. \n<p>The largest and most prestigious poker tournaments are now running satellite events to allow low-bankroll players to enter high-stakes games at cheaper and more affordable prices. If you\u2019re an average Joe looking to hit the jackpot, high-roller events offer a great opportunity.<\/p>\n<h3>Chance To Create History<\/h3>\n<p>One of the ways to establish yourself as a premier poker player in the past was to win a number of WSOP events or the WSOP Main Event. Today, poker players can make a name for themselves by winning high stake events and quickly climbing up the All Time Money List rankings. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/justin-bonomo-wins-the-2018-super-high-roller-bowl-for-5-million\">Justin Bonomo<\/a>. Last year, he surpassed <strong>Daniel Negreanu<\/strong> on the All-Time Money List, taking over the number 1 spot \u2013 mainly thanks to a series of high-roller victories Bonomo scored in 2018, which includes the much-coveted <em>WSOP Big One for One Drop<\/em> for $10 million.<\/p>\n<h3>The New World of Poker<\/h3>\n<p>However, as the high roller environment evolves, the negative implications are hard to ignore. Take for example the honest views of <strong>Max Silver<\/strong>, a semi-retired player and a semi-regular in the high roller environment. <\/p>\n<p>Silver says the <a href=\"http:\/\/pokerdb.thehendonmob.com\/ranking\/all-time-money-list\/\">All Time Money<\/a> can no longer serve as a gauge for a poker player\u2019s skills as the number of high-stakes events, coupled with re-entries and huge payouts can quickly push a player with lesser skills up the list to surpass some of the great\u2019s of the game who are far better players.  <\/p>\n<p>While Silver does have a point, we are going to see more high stake poker events going forward and more millionaires being created overnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you turn back the clock of time and look for the first high roller event that made headlines, you will most likely go back a decade and land up at the Aussie Millions which had a $100k buy-in.
