The 2025 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open was a two-week series, one of our biggest each year, featured a $5,300 Championship and the Big 4 tournaments with $4,750,000 in guaranteed prize pools.
But that was just a small part of the 15-day 63-event series.
Events: 63
Entries: 16,723
Guarantees: $7,540,000
Prize Pools: $14,590,830
Nearly 17,000 entries through the door (and that’s just in trophy events) with more than $14.5 million awarded. That’s only the numbers; it’s our players and their stories that make the series a success.
The SHRPO Championship drew 889 entries, turning the $3,000,000 guarantee into a prize pool of over $4.3 million. Jake Cody, one of the few players on the planet to win the poker triple crown (WSOP, WPT, and EPT titles), dominated the last two days of the tournament to become our 2025 Champion, banking $510,850.
Shannon Shorr won the $25K Big 4 High Roller title after a huge comeback, becoming the first player in our history to win two different Big 4 titles. His previous win was the $2,650 Big 4 Deep Stack in 2021.
Landon Tice won the $3,000 Big 4 Deep Stack title for $124,023 and Levi Berger was the $1,100 Big 4 Deep Stack champ for $48,102.
SHRPO Big 4 Championship: Jake Cody – $510,850
Big 4 $25K: Shannon Shorr – $352,873
Big 4 $3K: Landon Tice – $124,023

David Shmuel won the $1,100 Limit Omaha 8 event for his 12th major SHRP trophy, moving him into a tie for third on our all-time wins list, and Gabe Ramos captured the $600 Big Bet Mix Dealer’s Choice tournament for his ninth SHRP trophy. Here’s a look at the updated list:
Raminder Singh 15 wins
Yuval Bronshtein 13 wins
Michael Newman 12 wins
David Shmuel 12 wins
Phil Hui 11 wins
Matt Bretzfield 10 wins
Gabe Ramos 9 wins
When Shmuel won the Limit Omaha 8 trophy, it also moved him to the top of the SHRPO $10,000 Mixed Game Leaderboard on the last day of eligibility.

It was another fun series and we appreciate all of our players who come out to play. We couldn’t do it without you!
Thanks again, and we hope to see you in a few months for the Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open from November 19 to December 2, 2025!
