One week of the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open is locked down and the first nine trophies were awarded. We kicked things off with a huge field in Event 1 which drew 2,570 entrants and it was Nicholas Mahabee outlasting them all.
Before he won his tournament, Jordan Chizick won Event 2 with its one-day run. Dan Heimiller was the most accomplished player of those nine to pick up a trophy; it was his second SHRP title to go along with his two WSOP bracelets and $5.8 million in career earnings.
The first nine events on the schedule drew 5,211 entrants and we’ve awarded more than $1.2 million in prize money so far. A nice warm up to the bigger, richer events on the horizon.
