Event 1 Day 1A: Showdown Shoving Off

$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 25/50

Empty ballroom

After months of planning and scheduling, it’s finally time to get down to business and kick off the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown. The series features over 100 tournaments awarding big money and 30 major events adding the shiny Seminole Hard Rock Poker trophies. It all culminates with three WPT events late in April but we’re ready to kick things off today with the first tournament of the series.

Event 1 is a $350 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament with a huge $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. We expect a great crowd in the six starting flights over the opening three days of the series. Entrants start with 20,000 in tournament chips and play 30-minute levels throughout the day.

Late registration is open until the start of Level 9, approximately 3:30pm, with unlimited re-entries available during that time. The flight is scheduled to end after Level 14 and survivors will bag up their chips for a Day 2 return on Sunday.

There’s always a great turnout for the first event of each series and we expect this one to be no different. Players are taking their seats and cards will be underway after the daily reading of the rules.
