2022 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Event 22 Champion James Calderaro

Event 22 of the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown was the $400 Seniors 50+ No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry). A field of 268 entries produced a prize pool of $89,780, nearly doubling the $50,000 guarantee. Taking it down outright was James Calderaro, earning $20,265 for the victory.

With a World Poker Tour title and a World Series of Poker bracelet on his mantle already, Calderaro added his first SHRP major series trophy to that tonight.

“I beat the best players in the world tonight, the old guys,” said Calderaro afterward. “Next, I’m gonna knock off the young kids.”

The score puts Calderaro just why of the $4.9 million mark in career live tournament winnings, according to the Hendon Mob poker database.
