Jeffrey Trudeau Jr

The Flight A entry count is quickly climbing, more than doubling over the first level and it is now over 200 with a lot of time to build it up. More than three hours remain to get in the game but Flight B goes at 5 pm if you miss out.

Jeffrey Trudeau Jr took an early seat and sports one of the better lists of accomplishments in the room. The young grinder already has more than $1,7 million in career earnings, 194 recorded cashes, and 20 tournament wins.

Seven of those wins resulted in a WSOP Circuit ring including the WSOPC Coco High Roller title at our sister room in Coconut Creek.

Event 2: Trophy Hunting

$400 Limit Omaha 8 (Re-Entry)
Structure
Level 1: 500/100 Limits

Event 1 kicked off the 2019 RRPO series but Event 2 will award the first trophy. The $400 Limit Omaha 8 tournament has a one-day format and we will crown our first champ later this evening.

Each entrant will sit down to a 12,000 starting stack and all levels last 30 minutes. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30 pm and players may re-enter as often as they wish during that time. There is a dinner break scheduled at 6 pm and they will play down to a winner when they return.

This the first of many non-hold’em games and should have a talented group of players.

  • Players begin with 12,000 in chips and 30-minute levels
  • Late registration/re-entry available until start of Level 9
  • This is a one-day tournament and plays until completion

Nic Manion

Nic Manion is having a good start to his series. Midway through the first level, a new player to the table put his brand new stack in the middle after catching kings on his first hand. Manion was sitting behind him with aces and left his opponent with only 200 behind when the rockets held.

The micro-stack went in on the next hand, Manion and another opponent in the big blind came along to see a 7h6c2c flop. The big blind ended up getting his 20,300 stack all-in and Manion called.

Manion: QsQd
Big Blind: JcTc
Short Stack: Ad4d

Manion faded clubs on the Ts turn and Kh river to send both players out while early stacking to 63,400. He found two big pairs in consecutive hands and got action on both.

Complete 2019 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock N Roll” Poker Open Schedule

2019 RRPO Set to Go

The wait is over. The next big series is here with tomorrow’s kick off of the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll” Poker Open. The series features 26 primary events with more than $4,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools.

We storm out the gates with Event 1; the multi-flight tournament has a $1,000,000 Guarantee for only a $400 buy-in. We will close out the series with a $25,500 High Roller on the last weekend and it also has a $1,000,000 Guarantee.

But the headliner starts on November 29 when we roll out the $2,000,000 Guarantee WPT RRPO Championship. It has a $3,500 buy-in and the final table will be played out on the World Poker Tour live-stream stage.

In between those big games, we have plenty of action the rest of the series including eight non-Hold’em games. There are buy-ins ranging from $150 up to that $25K High Roller with both one-day and multi-day tournaments.

In addition to our primary events, we also have a full slate of secondary events with satellites running the available every day.

It will be a very exciting series, the first since the recent property expansion. We look forward to showing off our new tournament room and the added options around the casino.

All tournaments, except the 9am satellites and otherwise noted, will be played in the Seminole Ballroom which was previously the Event Center. New name, same location as the past few series.
