"Year in and year out, the Rock 'N' Roll Poker Open has been one of our best poker series," Seminole Hard Rock Tournament Director Tony Burns said. "Never was this more apparent than in 2016 when the series-opening $360 buy-in, $1 Million Guarantee drew more than 5,000 entries making it the largest poker tournament in state history. That benchmark stands to this day and we're eager to get cards in the air for this year's series which sees us partner with the World Poker Tour to bring the South Florida market a $3,500 buy-in, $2 Million Guarantee Championship."

In addition, anyone who plays a tournament event between Nov. 14 – 27 will receive an entry in the property's Play to Win drawing.
