$200,000 Guaranteed

November 27-29, 2022
Event 34 of the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open was a $600 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry). Over three starting flights, a field of 838 entries generated a prize pool of $435,760, more than doubling the guarantee.
There were 106 players who made it to Day 2 and were guaranteed at least a min-cash. The one most likely to min-cash was Duff Charette, who began last in 106th place of those returning Day 2 players with just 10,000 in chips at the 2,000/4,000/4,000 level. However, Charette went on an amazing run, turning his 2.5 big blinds into a $76,075 first-place score.
“A series saver, for sure,” said Charette afterward. “Florida poker is good to me.”
The win is Charette’s third SHRP major series trophy win. Most recently, he won a $600 Deep Stack Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2022 SHRPO, while his first came in the $5,000 Eight-Max No Limit Hold’em at the 2021 RRPO almost one year ago today.
“I was planning to play that $5K again,” admitted Charette. “I was the big blind on the first hand, so I was all in right away. I had 3-4 suited, was in against two better hands, flopped it, and just ran it up from there. I’ll take it.”
