$10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale
Level 1: 75/150 with a 25 Ante
While the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship is two hours into their action, working their way down to a final table, the last WPT Seventh of their Season XV is kicking off in the front of the ballroom.
The $10,000 World Poker Tour Finale will draw some of the best poker players in the world with them all aiming for a piece of the $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Last year, Chino Rheem won the inaugural WPT Finale to earn his record-tying third WPT title. He bested a field of 342 players to bank $705,885 on the big stage final table in Hard Rock Live.
The big tournament is also a switch from the norm for entries. The $10,000 buy-in tournament has a freeze-out format to give players a single shot at making it through to the title. That will even the playing field between heavily bankrolled pros and others taking their first big shot at a tournament this size.
The structure is deep and slow. Players start with 40,000 stacks and the tournament will start off with 60-minute levels. They’ll play eight full levels today and bag up for a return tomorrow for Day 2 at noon. Late registration is open until they kick off the action tomorrow, so there is plenty of time for players to make their way down to play.
Players will take their seats and kick off the WPT Finale at 2pm sharp.
