Amir Baron Wins His Third Seminole Seniors Event of 2023 Outright for $26,035

2023 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Event 2 Champion Amir Baron

Event 2 of the 2023 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open was a $600 Seniors 50+ No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry). A field of 202 entries set the mark for the largest SHRP Seniors Event at the $600 price point, eclipsing the 193 from the 2023 Lucky Hearts Poker Open.

Emerging victorious was Amir Baron, winning outright for $26,035. If that sounds familiar, that’s because it’s not only Baron’s third SHRP major series victory of 2023, but it’s also his third in a Seniors event.

Baron’s first win came during the 2023 Lucky Hearts when he won the $400 Seniors Event for $18,435. He followed that with a victory at the 2023 Showdown, winning the $400 Seniors Black Chip Bounty in a four-way deal.
