2022 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Schedule

2022 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Kicks off Wednesday!

After a nice summer break over the the last two months, we return for another big series with the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. The festival features 45 trophy events over two weeks with nearly $10 million in guaranteed prize pools.

We kick things off tomorrow with the huge $400 Deep Stack multi-flight tournament that will boast a prize pool of at least $1,000,000. The schedule will also roll out the first-ever $25K Pot Limit Omaha High Roller next week before we head into the monster final weekend.

The return of the SHRPO Big 4 gets underway on August 5 with the $5,300 buy-in Championship and its $3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. The other three tournaments comprising the Big 4 include the $25K High Roller with a $2,000,000 guarantee, the $2,700 Deep Stack with a $1,000,000 guarantee, and a $1,100 putting up another $500,000 at least.

That’s $6.5 million for only four of the tournaments in this series. It’s going to be big.

There are plenty of options for your tournament action with a lot of non-hold’em on the schedule and buy-ins ranging from $150 all the way up to the $50,000 Super High Roller.

Poker Night in America also makes its return to South Florida and will live-stream six final tables plus a cash game lineup that will be pure entertainment.
