$3,500 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” Championship
Level 1: 50/100

Before Jonathan Duhamel was the WSOP Main Event Champion, he was a November Niner.

A nice upgrade in titles.

Neil Blumenfield tried to do the same when he was among the final nine players in this year’s WSOP Main Event. He fell short in third place but he had a great run to keep everyone entertained. Blumenfield continued his hot summer with deep runs in the 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship, the Coco Poker Open, and HPT Reno final table.

The tournament board shows 180 entrants in the game as they near the end of the first level. Duhamel is one of those needing to register again, his seat was devoid of chips at the bottom of the hour.
