2022 RRPO Event 41 Champion Eric Afriat

Event 41 of the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open was a $400 Seniors 50+ (Re-Entry), which drew 149 entries and produced a prize pool of $49,915. The final table had three trophy winners from just the last few days, as Lisa Levy (Event 29), David Shmuel (Event 38), and Eric Afriat (Event 33) were each vying for their second trophy of the series.

In the end, it was Afriat who emerged victorious, having the biggest stack at the time of a three-way chop, making him the official winner for $9,110.

This marked back-to-back days of trophy wins for Afriat, and his third SHRP major series trophy win, along with the aforementioned Event 33 and the 2014 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown. The three-time WPT champion has now amassed more than $4.5 million in career live tournament winnings according to the Hendon Mob poker database.
