Event 3 of the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown was a $400 H.O.R.S.E. (Single Re-Entry). A field of 74 entries created a prize pool of $24,790.

John Simcox and five-time SHRP trophy winner Phil Hui were the last two standing and agreed to an even chop. As the chip leader, Simcox was the official winner.

“I always come to the series here,” Simcox said afterward. “The dealers are awesome, the room is awesome, it’s a great place to play.”

Earlier this month, Simcox finished fifth in the Tampa Poker Classic $400 H.O.R.S.E. tournament at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa for $1,500, and also final tabled the $400 H.O.R.S.E. event during the 2021 Lucky Hearts Poker Open, finishing sixth for $1.694.

“I’m better at Hold’em than the mixed games, but mixed games are more fun. I’m more relaxed when playing them.”
