Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, has announced it will host the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open featuring a $10 million guaranteed payout – the largest of its kind in the world – Aug. 8-29. The main event will be held Aug. 22-29.
“This destination deserves a tournament like this,” said Larry Mullin, Seminole Gaming COO. “Ten million dollars was the right number for what would be most interesting to the player; designed for the player. The Hard Rock and the Seminole Tribe of Florida serve as a global brand that will always be striving to bring the best in games, hospitality and entertainment to South Florida. As that leader, we want to remind people about the great products we have.”
William Mason, Seminole Hard Rock director of poker, elaborated that the $10 million guarantee, which expects to award more than $1.5 million to the winner, will be part of a 33-event series in August. In addition, poker rooms at Seminole Hard Rock in Tampa, Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and Seminole Casino Immokalee will host satellite tournaments.
A $5,300 buy-in will secure a spot in this groundbreaking $10 million guaranteed Championship event. The series will be highlighted by some other key tourneys, including Event #1 ($350 buy-in, $500,000 guaranteed prize pool) and Event #7 ($560 buy-in, $1 million guaranteed prize pool). On-site registration for the $10 million Open has begun. The registration fee is non-refundable. To participate, players must obtain a free “wild card” at the Player’s Club or in the poker room at Seminole Paradise.
