The time has come to get down to the business of finding our 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Champion. We will have players from around the world mixing it up with our local regulars and all trying to duplicate Jason Koon’s run last year to the SHRPO title.

The $5,250 buy-in Championship has a $3 Million Guaranteed prize pool to put a lot of money up for grabs. In order to earn the title, players will have to make their way through the field over two starting flights, two play down days, and the live-streamed final table in the Hard Rock Live Arena.

It will be worth the effort.

Entrants sit down to 30,000 starting stacks and the Championship runs one-hour level throughout the day. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 9pm with a single re-entry option available for the Championship. The day will come to an end after Level 10 with all survivors bagging up their chips for a Day 2 return on Sunday.

Tournament Director Tony Burns will put cards in the air at 11am and we expect a big day the ballroom today.

SHRPO Championship Kicks off Tomorrow

The preliminary tournaments are complete, one Big 4 final table is set, and now it’s almost time to get down to business in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship.

The $3 Million Guaranteed Championship kicks off tomorrow morning with a $5,250 buy-in and a lot of money and prestige for the winner of this tournament. This is the fifth year of the series and the previous champs are a fine group of poker players.

2013: Blair Hinkle
2014: Dan Colman
2015: Omar Zazay
2016: Jason Koon

The Championship will feature two starting days, Friday and Saturday, with a single re-entry option available if someone needs another shot. Players can use their entries on either day or both, but they are maxed out at two.

The two starting flights and the combined Day 2 field will play ten levels each with Day 3 continuing until they form the live-streamed final table. They will play it out in the Hard Rock Live arena with the other Big 4 final tables for later broadcast by Poker Night in America.

We expect a great field for the Championship with a nice mix of our local favorites and top pros. Anyone can win the title and we look forward to tracking the action as we move closer to crowning our 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Champion on August 15.

The Big 4 Satellite Schedule

We’re still in the first weekend of the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open but it’s never too late to start thinking about The Big 4 events coming up. Four tournaments with combined guaranteed prize pools worth $6.5 million and all four final tables played at the same time in front cameras.

Now players can begin to look at ways to get into any of these events at a discount via a solid schedule of satellites. The biggest group of satellites can be found on August 10 when 36 combined seats in five satellites are guaranteed into the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship.

All told, the satellites combine for 47 Championship seats, three High Roller seats, five $1 Million Guaranteed Freeze-Out, and four $1,100/$500K seats offered up between now and August 13.

And those numbers don’t include the two Multi-Events satellites which will reward packages that include a $2,650 seat, a $1,100 seat, and $1,250 in cash.
