Jason Young

Any cash in the WPT RRPO Championship will be a good return-on-investment for Jason Young. His buy-in total was $0 into the headliner with two bullets in his pocket and he’s comfortable with 140,000 on Day 2.

His first shot at the Championship came courtesy of winning the first-ever tournament in the new poker room. Young picked up some cash along with a seat into the RRPO Championship. That entry did not pan out the way he expected but luckily he had a good run to start 2019.

Young won the Seminole Hard Rock Player of the Year award after winning the WPTDeepStacks Hollywood Main Event in January and a finishing third in the WSOPC Coco Main Event. The POY honors came with an entry into every Seminole Hard Rock Poker Main Event/Championship for an entire year, including this one.

The RRPO Championship is the third qualifying tournament for the next Player of the Year. David Nathaniel Jr is the frontrunner after two events; he won the Tampa Pinktober Main Event after finishing 10th in the WSOPC Coco Main Event.

After this tournament, there are still seven more chances to run up the SHR Player of the Year leaderboard.
