Tournament Director Tony Burns

The 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown is officially underway after Tournament Director Tony Burns issued the “shuffle up and deal” command. After the pre-game instructions, he dedicated the kick off to Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Sheddy Siddiqui who is dealing with a family tragedy.

Cards are in the air and the big festival is moving.

Event 1 Flight A: Kicking off the Showdown

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 25/50

The wait is over and everyone is ready to kick off the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown with a huge opening tournament. There are 30 major events (plus another 70+ secondary/satellites) on the schedule and we’re starting things off with a multi-day, big guarantee tournament.

Event 1 has a $360 buy-in with six starting flights over three days and a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. Flight A kicks off at the top of the hour and we’ll get our first glimpse at the size of the field we can expect.

Players sit down to 20,000 starting stacks and Day 1 levels will run 30 minutes a piece. Late registration is open until the start of Level 9 at 3:30pm and unlimited re-entries are available during that time. They will continue to play through 14 complete levels and those with chips will bag them up for a return on Sunday for Day 2. If players fall short of bagging, the second flight runs later this evening at 6pm.

It will be a nice starting day to the festival and we are starting our non-stop coverage of the series.
