2022 RRPO Event 38 Champion David Shmuel

Event 38 of the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open was a $400 H.O.R.S.E. (Re-Entry), and a field of 91 entries created a prize pool of $30,485. A three-handed deal was reached at the final table, and as the chip leader it was Seminole Hard Rock poker regular David Shmuel who was the official winner for $7,471.

This marked Shmuel’s sixth SHRP major series trophy win, putting him in a tie with Scott Baumstein, and trailing only Raminder Singh (9), Brian Altman (7), Yuval Bronshtein (7), Gabe Ramos (7), Michael Newman (7), and David Prociak (7). The win (along with Shmuel’s 59th-place finish earlier in the day in the Championship event) puts Shmuel past the $600K mark in career live tournament winnings according to the Hendon Mob poker database.

Here are Shmuel’s six Seminole Hard Rock Poker major series wins:
