The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open has been the cornerstone of our majors since that first run in 2013 when we shocked the world with a $10,000,000 guarantee Championship but also introduced them to the South Florida poker scene.
The 2024 run featured the most events in SHRPO series history and we offered up more than $8,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools and nearly doubled that amount in prize money awarded.
As we’ve done over the last few years, we headlined the series with more than one huge tournament, we rolled out the Big4 format once again.
The Big 4 consists of four scheduled so there are always multiple big events running for the last five days of the series. First up was the $3,000,000 guaranteed SHRPO Championship, followed by a $3,000 Deep Stack, a $1,100 Deep Stack, and the big-money $25K High Roller.
That started our series, but we had history throughout, including the last tournament on the last night; Event 61 bookended the SHRPO series with one final shining moment.
All-time Hollywood wins leader Raminder Singh spent most of the series with his family, his focus, until the last few days. He had a one-win lead over Michael Newman on the wins list but added to it late Tuesday evening when he captured the $300 Quad Stack Black Chip Bounty for his 13th major Hollywood trophy.
Singh wasn’t the only one who tweaked our all-time leaderboard; David Shmuel won his tenth, Phil Hui captured his eighth, and Ari Engel joined the conversation with six.
The updated all-time wins leaderboard:
Raminder Singh – 13 wins Michael Newman – 11 wins Yuval Bronshtein – 10 wins David Shmuel – 10 wins Matt Bretzfield – 9 wins John Holley – 8 wins Phil Hui – 8 wins Brian Altman – 7 wins David Prociak – 7 wins Gabriel Ramos – 7 wins
Other notable wins include:
Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel walked into the Grand Ballroom on his first day and won the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Event 26 title.
Landon Tice, 2024 WPT Poker Showdown runner-up, won the one-day $10K Deep Stack on the last day for $246,300.
Nick Seward won the $1,100 Deep Stack preliminary on our Gorilla Gaming live stream; max late regged the $2,200 Deep Stack when he was done and won that the next day.
Christopher rode away with wins in our $600 and $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. events.
Lenard Adams won two turbos during the series, and Shahar Biniaminov and Matthew Wolfson also won two 2024 SHRPO trophies.
As always, we could not do any of this without the support of our players, our local favorites, and our traveling friends. You keep showing up and we keep trying to put on the best events possible.
We appreciate you and thank you once again.
Next up, we look forward to seeing everyone for the 2024 Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open, which will be held from November 20 through December 3.
Cheers!
