Michael Newman

Michael Newman is among our regular SHRP faces in the crowd today and he has a chance this series to pull off a unique feat. He has nine career titles to his credit, all coming right here, but this is his chance to put down a big mark in another major series.

Newman has taken home a SHRP trophy from each of the last three major series; the first coming during the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $570 NLH Event 15, the second in the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” $360 Pot Limit Omaha tournament, and finally the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open $570 Pot Limit Omaha Six-Max event. And Newman said he doesn’t even know that much about Omaha.

If he can capture another title this series, that will make if four in a row. An unofficial SHRP slam of sorts.
