We’ve run five Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championships in the past and it’s almost time for number six. The $3 Million Guarantee Championship kicks off tomorrow at noon and it is the beginning of the Big 4 tournaments on the schedule.

This tournament has produced some great champions over the past five years and we’re ready to add another name to the list.

2013 – Blair Hinkle
2014 – Dan Colman
2015 – Omar Zazay
2016 – Jason Koon
2017 – Martin Kozlov
2018 – ?????

The Championship features two starting flights, on Friday and Saturday, with late registration open until 10pm. Players are restricted to a single re-entry into the Championship so they must be careful to stick around.

The tournament will start players with 40,000 deep stacks and it will also utilize a “big blind ante” structure where a single ante is paid by the big blind for the entire table.

The rest of the Big 4 tournaments begin running on Sunday and include the $25,500 High Roller, $2,650 No Limit Hold’em Single Re-Entry, and $1,100 No Limit Hold’em. All four final tables will play on the same day on the same stage in front of the Poker Night in America cameras.

But up first is the Championship and it will be an exciting moment as it runs for the first time in the new Hard Rock Event Center.
