$5,250 SHRPO Championship (Single Re-Entry)
$3,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 1: 100/100 with a 100 ante
Today we have one primary tournament in the Event Center, the second and final flight of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship. The first flight drew 396 entries for the $5,250 buy-in tournament to leave it only 223 away from making its $3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. There’s little doubt it will get there today, the only real question is how big it will get.
Tony Sinishtag, 2017 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Champion, was here from Level 1 in Flight A and finished with 365,500. Chris Moneymaker, 2003 WSOP Main Event winner, was one of the last entries and finished the day in fourth with 309,000.
Other notables advancing include Tim Reilly, Scott Baumstein, Matt Brady, Matt Berkey, Ryan Riess, Paul Volpe, Mohsin Charania, Dan Suied, Mukul Pahuja, Jake Schindler, reigning WPT Poker Showdown champion James Carroll, and defending SHRPO Champion Brandon Eisen.
Players will sit down to 40,000 starting stacks and play one-hour levels until 27 players remain. At that point, levels will increase to 90 minutes and remain that way until only two players remain. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 9 pm and players may only re-enter one time in the Championship.
We get underway at 11 am and the first milestone will be getting to the $3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool this afternoon then continue building until we close registration and finalize the Day 2 field.
