Championship: Day 1 Set to Go

$3,500 WPT Showdown Championship (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 50/100

So far this series, 18 tournaments have come and gone during the first weeks of the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown and number 19 is a big one. The WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship is set to kick off at noon and we expect a massive crowd for the $2 Million Guarantee tournament.

The $3,500 buy-in Championship has a single starting day with re-entries available until the start of Level 9 at 10:15pm with a 90-minute dinner break scheduled at 6:30pm. The big prize pool and prestige of the national tour will draw an impressive group of pro grind alongside our local regulars.

The structure is slow and deep, as expected with a big Championship. Players start with 30,000 stacks and levels will last 60 minutes for the first two days. Day 1 will come to an end after Level 10 and survivors will return tomorrow at noon for Day 2.

Cards fly at noon and we’ll be here from start to finish.

WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship Set for Tomorrow

The preliminary events are falling to the wayside and we’re ready to roll out the 2017 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship tomorrow at noon. This is the last World Poker Tour stop for their Season XV with two last chances to qualify for the WPT Tournament of Champions; tomorrow’s Championship and the $10,000 WPT Finale starting on Sunday.

The $3,500 Championship features a $2 Million guaranteed prize pool with a single starting day and late registration/unlimited re-entries for more than ten hours. Last year, the Showdown Championship drew 1,222 entries to nearly double the $2 million guarantee and Justin Young (pictured above) put his name on the WPT Champions Cup.

This year we expect another huge crowd in the ballroom with many top pros making the trip to South Florida to play alongside our local regulars and dozens of satellite winners.

The Championship kicks off at noon tomorrow and we’re excited to being the World Poker Tour portion of the schedule.
