Also, Poker Central announced the dates of the 2019 Poker Masters. The event will run from November 1-10 at the ARIA in Las Vegas.

Jeep to Sponsor High Roller of the Year Award

In one of the most significant announcements made by Poker Central this year, the company issued a press release on Tuesday announcing that they have partnered with Jeep as a sponsor for the High Roller of the Year award. The award will now be known as the Jeep High Roller of the Year and will provide significant rewards for the players atop the list at year’s end.

The Jeep High Roller of the Year goes to the player that accrues the most points through major Poker Central events that include the Poker Majors. These events are the U.S. Poker Open, Poker Masters, and the Super High Roller Bowl. The higher a player finishes in the event, the bigger the points multiplier.

The eventual winner of the Jeep High Roller of the Year award will receive a significant prize. They will receive a rake-free entry into all the high roller events at ARIA for 2020. This is a huge prize that will include all major poker events, including the Super High Roller Bowl.

Also, the top five players atop the Jeep High Roller of the Year leaderboard at the time of the Super High Roller Bowl will receive an automatic entry into the event. With Jeep now sponsoring the event, don’t be surprised to see other incentive given to the top finishers as well as additional prizes in major ARIA events.

Poker Central President Sam Simmons spoke on the upcoming event, stating, “The ongoing success of the High Roller of the Year structure and the growth of Poker Central’s events domestically and globally are evident as we welcome Jeep as our partner. Jeep’s support of the High Roller of the Year award demonstrates the broad appeal of poker and the passionate community that surrounds it.”
