Brian Altman

Blinds are up in the Championship, and the field is a little tougher. Some of the top favorite players are trying for the RRPO title.

Brian Altman has three WPT titles, all in Florida and two right here. He won the WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship twice, and he is the only player in the tour’s history to win the same title twice.

Nadya Magnus is a former GPI Female Player of the Year with two WSOP Circuit rings and she finished fourth at the 2020 WPT LHPO Championship final table (with eventual champ Altman).

Viet Vo made back-to-back WPT Poker Showdown Championship final tables, two of the biggest fields in the tour’s history, and he owns a WSOPC Las Vegas Main Event ring.

Finally, local legend Raminder Singh brings the home team power to the RRPO Championship. He has a room full of trophies and his 13 major Hollywood titles are the most by anyone in our history.
