The preliminary events are falling to the wayside and we’re ready to roll out the 2017 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship tomorrow at noon. This is the last World Poker Tour stop for their Season XV with two last chances to qualify for the WPT Tournament of Champions; tomorrow’s Championship and the $10,000 WPT Finale starting on Sunday.
The $3,500 Championship features a $2 Million guaranteed prize pool with a single starting day and late registration/unlimited re-entries for more than ten hours. Last year, the Showdown Championship drew 1,222 entries to nearly double the $2 million guarantee and Justin Young (pictured above) put his name on the WPT Champions Cup.
This year we expect another huge crowd in the ballroom with many top pros making the trip to South Florida to play alongside our local regulars and dozens of satellite winners.
The Championship kicks off at noon tomorrow and we’re excited to being the World Poker Tour portion of the schedule.
