$3,500 WPT Showdown Championship
$3,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 1: 50/100
The preliminary events are wrapped up and it’s time to get down to the business of finding our 2018 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship.
The new Event Center will host some of the best players from around the world, all looking to put their name on the WPT Champions Chip.
We expect to see some of our former WPT Poker Showdown Champions like Eric Afriat, Justin Young, and Tony Sinishtaj this weekend along with other members of the WPT Champions Club, WSOP bracelet winners, and major title holders.
Phil Hellmuth, 14-time WSOP winner, will join the field at some point today and he will sit side-by-side with our local regulars in the game.
The $3,500 Championship has a $3 million guaranteed prize pool with two starting flights and a deep, slow structure to give everyone plenty of room to make moves.
Players sit down to 30,000 deep starting stacks and hour-long levels for the first two days. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 9:15 pm with unlimited re-entries during that time. They have a 90-minute dinner break at 5:30 pm to enjoy the restaurants throughout the casino.
Both starting flights will play through ten full levels and survivors will bag up their chips for a return on Sunday for Day 2.
Cards fly at 11 am and we will bring you updates all day long.
