It may not be the official first event of the series but the seniors will award the first trophy. While some will be playing the opening flight of Event 1 in one part of the Hard Rock Event Center, our elder statesmen will be battling it out of the other side for the Seniors Event trophy.

The tournament is open to anyone 50 years and older and the $300 buy-in event will attract a nice crowd.

Players will start out with 10,000 stacks and the tournament will run 30-minute levels. Late registration and re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 3:30 pm and they have a dinner break schedule after Level 12.

The tournament will play out today and we will crown our first champion before the night is complete.

Level 1: 25/50

The wait is complete and it’s time to start the 2018 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in the new Hard Rock Event Center. The arena space is being used for the first time for a poker series and it will add to the excitement of a series which includes millions in guaranteed money.

The kick-off event is a $570 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament with six starting flights and a $1,000,000 Guaranteed prize pool. Two flights will run each day between now and Saturday with Flight B running this evening at 6 pm.

Each entrant will sit down to a 20,000 starting stack and levels will run 30 minutes long for all starting flights. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 3:30 pm and unlimited re-entries are available during that time. They will continue grinding down from that point and all players with chips at the end of 14 full levels will bag them up for a return on Sunday for Day 2.

It should be a lot of fun today as players get their first look at the new tournament setup. Opening day will be exciting and we look forward to a great series.
