2025 RRPO Live Updates

2025 RRPO in Review

by

We wrapped up our fourth and final major series of 2025 with the Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open which featured 52 trophy events and more than $7.5 million in guaranteed money.

Events:  52
Entries:  16,636
Guarantees:  $7,590,000
Prize Pools:  $12,391,160

Another fantastic turnout from our friends and very loyal supporters. We strive to provide the best tournament experiences you will find, and you continue to come out in big numbers.

Thank you.

It’s important to highlight some of our best moments throughout the series, memorable wins, and significant numbers.

We closed out the series with the highlight on the schedule, the 2025 WPT RRPO Championship. The $3,500 buy-in tournament drew 1,224 entries, pushing the $3,000,000 guarantee up to a prize pool worth $3,916,800. Kevin Nee battled over five fun days of action and took the title for $605,100 after one hand of heads-up play.

2025 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Event 1 Champion Dario Dussan

We opened the series with a $400 Deep Stack with a massive $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, a ton of money for the investment. The tournament drew an incredible 6,853 entries (the third-biggest field in state history) and created a prize pool worth $2,261,490.

Dario Dussan won the Event 1 title outright, banking $278,150 for the win. Not done there, a week later, Dussan won the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament for another $61,075.

2025 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Event 47 Champion Dario Dussan

Dussan wasn’t the only player to win two titles during the series; Boris Kolev made some history of his own. He won the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em tournament on Monday for $266,100, entered the $25K High Roller soon after, and won that tournament on Tuesday for another $465,900.

2025 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open $10K Champ Boris Kolev

He won the two biggest buy-in tournaments on the schedule in back-to-back days.

Joseph Olivieri also did the back-to-back thing earlier in the series. He won the $600 Mixed PLO one night and followed that up with a win in the $600 10-Game Mix the next.

2025 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Event 39 Champion Yuval Bronshtein

Yuval Bronshtein continued to pack his trophy case. He won the $400 Pot-Limit Omaha 8 title for his 15th career major SHRP win to put himself in a tie with Raminder Singh for most in our history.

Hal Klein won the $600 H.O.R.S.E. for his eighth trophy, and the legend Phil Hui won the $600 Dealer’s Choice for his 12th. Here’s a look at the updated trophy counts:

Raminder Singh  –  15 wins
Yuval Bronshtein  –  15 wins
David Shmuel  –  12 wins
Michael Newman  –  12 wins
Phil Hui –  12 wins
Matt Bretzfield  –  10 wins
Gabriel Ramos  –  9 wins
Hal Klein  –  8 wins
John Holley  –  8 wins
Scott Baumstein  –  8 wins

On a final historical note, we surpassed a major milestone during the series. Over the course of 56 major series, starting with the 2011 Poker Showdown, we have now awarded more than $600 million in prize money.

Major Series: 56
Entries: 650,801
Guarantees: $310,808,500

Kevin Nee Wins the 2025 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Championship for $605,100!

2025 WPT RRPO Champion Kevin Nee (Photo Credit: Luther Redd/WPT)

The 2025 WPT Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Championship was the big ticket item on the series schedule, and it did not disappoint. The $3,500 buy-in tournament drew 1,224 entries, turning the $3,000,000 guarantee into a prize pool worth $3,916,800, and Kevin Nee took the top spot for $605,100 after a fun few days of action.

Of those 1,224 starters, 437 players made it through to Day 2, with Natasha Mercier leading the pack, along with Debbie Lee and Cherish Andrews in the top five. They burst the money bubble after the dinner break, with 63 players advancing to Day 3, and it was Hyndi Khomutetsky’s turn to lead the start of a new day.

Khomutetsky stayed strong, played well, and was among the leaders all the way to the six-handed final table. She was second in chips and took a bad beat from Joel Gola, the only player at the table with more chips, to exit in sixth place.

In a historically fast final table, it took only 60 hands to find our winner and only one hand when the tournament was heads-up.

Gola had a big lead most of the last day, but Nee chipped away at the popular amateur. After Aram Zobian was sent out in third place, they set up the table for heads-up play, and that took longer than the match.

On the first hand, they put all their chips in the middle ,and Nee flopped a nut flush to leave Gola drawing dead to second place.

It was a fun, action-packed few days during the Championship. Congratulations to Kevin on the win, and thanks to everyone for coming out.

On the first hand of heads-up play, Kevin Nee opened to 1,200,000 from his button and Joel Gola moved all in for 19,500,000. Nee quickly called and they both stood up to fade the board.

Nee: As2s
Gola: KcJc

Nee was ahead with his ace then slammed the door on the Qs7s5s flop for a nut flush. Gola was drawing dead to the 4c turn and Qh river to finish second for $395,000.

Nee picked up $605,100 as the 2025 WPT RRPO Champion and his name will now go on the Mike Sexton Champions Cup.

Joel Gola limped from the button, Kevin Nee completed the small blind, and Aram Zobian checked in the big blind.

The flop was Td4c3d and both Nee and Zobian checked. Gola bet 1,500,000 and Nee check-raised to 3,500,000. Zobian moved all in for 4,250,000 to get a fold from Gola and call from Nee.

Zobian: Th9c
Nee:  7d4d

Hyndi Khomutetsky opened to 1,400,000 from the under the gun, Joel Gola raised, Khomutetsky said all in for 11,075,000 and Gola quickly called for a massive hand between the top two stacks.

Khomutetsky: AdQh
Gola: AcJd

Khomutetsky was way ahead with a chance to take the chip lead and the As5c2h flop was perfectly safe. The 6c turn changed nothing but Gola nailed the Jc river to send Khomutetsky out in sixth place.
