Blair Hinkle

As with all things, there had to be a beginning. The first Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open was held at the end of August in 2013, an ambitious debut that featured a $10,000,000 guaranteed prize pool for a $5K Championship. The prize pool rose to $11,920,000 by the time registration closed, the biggest we’ve ever run.

Blair Hinkle outlasted the 2,384-entry field to become our first ever SHRPO Champion and he banked $1,745,000 for the feat. He returns every year hoping to be the first two-time SHRPO Champion and 2019 is no different.
