As the World Poker Tour’s 20th anniversary season rolls on, the tour announced yet another tournament stop this week. The company returns to Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida , in November for the $3,500 WPT Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open .
This becomes the third stop at the property this year with the main event running Nov. 25-30. Poker players can expect a $2 million guarantee. “Our previous Main Event for this festival more than doubled the guarantee,” tour CEO Adam Pliska said in a news release. “The enthusiasm for these events has been remarkable, and I look forward to continuing our ongoing streak of bigger and bigger prize pools for the RRPO main event.” Details on the series
