Nic Manion

Nic Manion is having a good start to his series. Midway through the first level, a new player to the table put his brand new stack in the middle after catching kings on his first hand. Manion was sitting behind him with aces and left his opponent with only 200 behind when the rockets held.

The micro-stack went in on the next hand, Manion and another opponent in the big blind came along to see a 7h6c2c flop. The big blind ended up getting his 20,300 stack all-in and Manion called.

Manion: QsQd
Big Blind: JcTc
Short Stack: Ad4d

Manion faded clubs on the Ts turn and Kh river to send both players out while early stacking to 63,400. He found two big pairs in consecutive hands and got action on both.

Complete 2019 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock N Roll” Poker Open Schedule

2019 RRPO Set to Go

The wait is over. The next big series is here with tomorrow’s kick off of the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll” Poker Open. The series features 26 primary events with more than $4,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools.

We storm out the gates with Event 1; the multi-flight tournament has a $1,000,000 Guarantee for only a $400 buy-in. We will close out the series with a $25,500 High Roller on the last weekend and it also has a $1,000,000 Guarantee.

But the headliner starts on November 29 when we roll out the $2,000,000 Guarantee WPT RRPO Championship. It has a $3,500 buy-in and the final table will be played out on the World Poker Tour live-stream stage.

In between those big games, we have plenty of action the rest of the series including eight non-Hold’em games. There are buy-ins ranging from $150 up to that $25K High Roller with both one-day and multi-day tournaments.

In addition to our primary events, we also have a full slate of secondary events with satellites running the available every day.

It will be a very exciting series, the first since the recent property expansion. We look forward to showing off our new tournament room and the added options around the casino.

All tournaments, except the 9am satellites and otherwise noted, will be played in the Seminole Ballroom which was previously the Event Center. New name, same location as the past few series.

Seminole Hard Rock and WPT Celebrate 10 Years Together this November

Poker pro Harrison Gimbel won the first-ever WPT/Seminole Hard Rock event in November 2010

During this November’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open, the Seminole Hard Rock and the World Poker Tour will celebrate 10 years together running some of the world’s greatest poker tournaments. The pair has enjoyed plenty of milestones — including the Seminole Hard Rock owning the top three largest turnouts in Main Tour history — and it was their first event together that cemented the partnership for years to come.

That event was the Fall Poker Open and it took place in November 2010 at the property’s poker room located outside in Paradise. The tournament was a $5,000 buy-in that drew 298 entries. It was a deep, four-day structure and Florida’s Harrison Gimbel emerged victorious to the tune of a $330,000 score.

Harrison Gimbels hoists the 201) WPT Fall Poker Open trophy.

At the time, it marked Gimbel’s fourth career cash and is still his third-largest to date only behind his WSOP gold bracelet and his PCA Main Event win.

With the WPT set to return to South Florida this November 20th through December 4th for another championship, odds are Gimbel — and a number of other pros and recs alike — will be back in a Seminole Hard Rock poker chair chasing another seven-figure prize pool and six-figure score.
