The wait is almost over. We kick off the 2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship on Friday with a huge crowd expected to take part. The $5,250 buy-in tournament has a huge $3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool with two starting flights; the first on Friday at 11 am and the second on Saturday at the same time.

We’ve had seven SHRPO Champions since the launch of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open starting with Blair Hinkle winning the inaugural tournament in 2013 for $1,745,245. The list of past champs is impressive with Dan Colman, Omar Zazay, Jason Koon, Martin Kozlov, Brandon Eisen, and Sean Winter taking home the trophy.

2014 – Dan Colman
2015 – Omar Zazay
2016 – Jason Koon

This time around the winner will receive some new hardware. The 2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Champion will take home a massive replica of our iconic Guitar Tower hotel, the first time one has been awarded.

It will be an exciting end to the weekend, we look forward to seeing our old friends and making new ones.
