The 2018 Super High Roller Bowl is the most popular high buy-in event amongst the professionals, but many of the best players were not lucky enough to win a seat.

Those who want their names in the basket have to pay a $30,000 deposit, which is a huge gamble since even those who aren't lucky enough to get in won't get their money back.
This time there were 61 pros for 30 seats, meaning 31 of them will miss the event. You can see both lists with all of the names below:
