Find out who the 35 players are who had a spare $300,000 lying around for the nosebleed event in May.

Anyone with concerns that 'poker is dead' need only look at the thriving Super High Roller scene to see it is anything but.

The demand for a $300,000 buy-in tournament is so high that 54 players had to put their names forward in a lottery style selector to get their seat to the Super High Roller Bowl on May 28th.

Daniel Negreanu spun the wheel at the Aria casino this week to find out who of the 54 will get one of the 35 seats currently available. A further 15 seats will be made available prior to the event, but there is no guarantee they will all go to the 19 who put their name forward for the first draft, and it is expected some of those seats will go to recreational players and qualifiers.

Negreanu himself was one of the 19 who didn't get their seat (yet) to the rake free $15 million guaranteed event, which will award $5 million to the winner.

Both former champions of this event, Brian Rast and Rainer Kempe will be playing this year, as will Doug Polk, Antonio Esfandiari, Erik Seidel, John Juanda and Fedor Holz, to name but a few.

Negreanu, Jason Mercier, Justin Bonomo, Dan Smith and Daniel Colman were some of the players who put their name forward but did not make the list of 35.

You can see the full list of 35 confirmed players below:

Christian Christner Koray Aldemir Andrew Robl Byron Kaverman Scott Seiver Matt Berkey Stefan Schillhabel Doug Polk Andrew Lichtenberger Nick Petrangelo Brian Rast Haralabos Voulgaris David Peters Ben Sulsky Isaac Haxton David Einhorn Ankush Mandavia Sam Soverel Erik Seidel Tom Marchese Ben Tollerene Fedor Holz Bryn Kenney Jason Les Sean Winter Dominik Nitsche Christoph Vogelsang Antonio Esfandiari Igor Kurganov Connor Drinan Jake Schindler Pratyush Buddiga John Juanda Steffen Sontheimer Rainer Kempe

With such demand should the Super High Roller Bowl raise the player cap? Let us know in the comments:
