2024 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Florida Event 9 $600 Double Black Chip Bounty Turbo NLH (Re-Entry) Entries: 81 Prize Pool: $26,325 Bounty Prize Pool: $16,200 August 2, 2024
Event 9 Champion Greg Buonocore
There were 81 entries for the $600 Double Black Chip Bounty Turbo on Friday, and they reached the nine-handed final table in about 4 1/2 hours. The final table lasted another two hours or so until Greg Buonocore defeated Andre Bryan heads-up to win the title, the trophy, and $8,420.
“It feels unbelievable,” said Buonocore after his victory. “I’ve been playing for probably 15 to 20 years as a side gig, and to finally come through felt really special.”
Our turbo events usually run in the evenings, but this one was different, starting at 12:00 noon.
“I knew that, no matter what happened, the latest it would go to is 7:00 or 8:00 at night,” said Buonocore. “So I figured, let me enter this and get really aggressive at the beginning. I haven’t played in a lot of turbos, so I knew I’d either get a lot of chips or go home. And I was lucky and got a lot of chips.”
Buonocore lives in Delray Beach, Florida, and loves coming to play poker at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood.
When asked about the casino, Buonocore said, “It’s fantastic. I live 30 minutes away, and I come down here as much as I possibly can to play. It’s unbelievable how they run the tournaments, and all the employees are fantastic.”

Event 9 Champion Greg Buonocore
After Andre Bryan’s double-up, the final two players were relatively even in chips for a while without playing any particularly big pots.
Then, about 20 minutes after Bryan’s double-up, they played to the river on a board of , and quickly got it all in on the river, with Bryan making the shove and Greg Buonocore snap-calling.
Bryan showed for two pair, fives and threes, but Buonocore turned over to win the pot with a five-high straight.
Their chip stacks were counted down, and Buonocore had Bryan covered by about 70K to win the pot, the title and the trophy. Buonocore also earns $200 for knocking out Bryan, and as the winner, he gets to keep his own $200 bounty as well.
Congratulations to Greg Buonocore!
