The 2018 SHRPO Super High Roller was a success

It is just about time for the biggest buy-in tournament on the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown schedule. The $50,000 Super High Roller kicks off at 2pm in Salon West, a special setup for our big-time players, with a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

The last Super High Roller we put together was in August during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. That event drew 25 entries to push past the guarantee and Elio Fox defeated Dan Shak for the title.

Super High Rollers will have 125,000 starting stacks and play 40-minute levels until they reach the final table. Late registration is available until the start of Level 10 at 9:30pm after the dinner break but they are restricted to a single re-entry option.

Cards will go in the air at 2pm and we will have all the action from the Super High Roller from start to finish.

Event 14: Peter Mancini Wins After Three-Handed Chop

2018 Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open

$1,650 Purple Chip Bounty No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Peter Mancini takes the trophy in three-handed deal

The $1,650 Purple Chip Bounty No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry) re-started Day 2 at 2:00 PM with twelve players and was completed within two and a half hours. The bust outs were fast and furious including a double knock out by the eventual winner Peter Mancini. Mancini scored two bounties on that hand and wound up collecting nine altogether.

The day started with Aleksandr Gofman as chip leader, who parlayed his big stack into a fourth place finish worth $9,653. Immediately after Gofman’s elimination, Peter Mancini, Michael Stashin, and Pablo Mariz agreed to a deal.

As the chip leader when the deal was agreed upon, the 63 year old was declared the winner. Mancini is a lawyer for disability cases living in Ontario, Canada. He came all the way down to Florida to play this Rock’N’Roll Poker Open.

“This is an awesome property. This is probably the toughest field that I’ve played against in the last two years. The tournament was well structured. Playing with pros was quite a challenge but I learned a lot”

Even at the final table Mancini had to get through two WSOP Bracelet winners to victory. He ended up chopping with one of them, 2017 Millionaire Maker champion Pablo Mariz.

When asked how Day 1 went Mancini had this to say, “The day went quite well for me yesterday, I had good luck.. catching runner-runner at one point to stay in the tournament.”

Day 2 however wasn’t as smooth for the champion. “Earlier in the day I lost pocket kings to pocket aces, I thought I was going to make an early exit but I was able to continue all the way to the chop.”

Mancini takes home $31,093 for his victory as well as the RRPO trophy.

Final table results:

1st:  Peter Mancini – $31,093 + trophy
2nd: Michael Stashin – $29,039
3rd:  Pablo Mariz – $23,385
4th: Alexandr Gofman – $9,563
5th: Paula Alibrandi – $7,382
6th: Brian Hastings – $6,120
7th: Myles German – $5,317
8th: Daniel Pearlman – $4,774
9th: David Levi – $4,113
