They keep coming in the door, and we keep finding seats for them. This field practically guarantees we crush the $1,000,000 long before we reach the last fight. This is a huge turnout for a Wednesday morning/afternoon and great sign for a great big prize pool.

Fantastic turnout in the early going of SHRPO Event 2 with more than 200 entries in the field in the first hour. This is setting us up for a really big number by the time we close registration Saturday evening, likely smashing the $1,000,000 to bits.

Sebastian Espinoza, 2025 SHRPO Event 1 Champ

We kicked off the 2025 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open with a special tournament, a $250 Slater Scoops Quad Stack with our friend Andy Slater. The one-day tournament drew 519 entries, doubling the $50,000 guarantee into a prize pool worth $108,990, and Sebastian Espinoza walked away with the first trophy of the series along with $11,355 in an eight-way deal.

In addition to the cash and hardware, Espinoza also won a seat in our $5,300 buy-in $3,000,000 guaranteed SHRPO Championship.

A huge record-setting turnout for this event; the biggest field for a single-day tournament in our Poker Room’s very long history, topping the 468 entries from a $150 Big Stack in 2024.

Thank you to everyone for the great kickoff!
