Event 32 of the 2024 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown was a $600 Badugi (Re-Entry), the first of its kind inside these walls. A field of 55 entries produced a prize pool of $28,600. Emerging victorious once again was Ryan Hoenig, taking it down outright for $10,585.

Hoenig’s remarkable series continued as he won the mixed-game tournament for a third straight night, following up his Omaha 8 and  2-7 Triple Draw triumphs with tonight’s Badugi victory. It was also his seventh final table of the series, too.
