Boasting a $3,500 buy-in and $2,000,000 guarantee, the event is expected to draw a field well in excess of 600 entries.

Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Jessica Dawley finished 6th while the title of champion went to Cincinnati’s Jake Bazeley. For his championship efforts, Bazeley earned over $568,000.
