Seminole Hard Rock hosts the return of WPT Rock 'N' Roll Poker Open in November.
The WPT Seminole Rock 'N' Roll Poker Open is set to return to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida from November 19 to December 3, 2025, promising two weeks of non-stop poker action 1. The highlight of the festival will be the crown jewel event, the $3,500 Championship, running from November 28 to December 3, 2025, with a guaranteed prize pool of $3,000,000 1.
Last year, the series featured over 50 trophy events, including No-Limit Hold'em tournaments, mixed games, and high rollers. The Championship attracted a field of 1,435 players, with Dylan Smith, a Florida native, emerging victorious 2. Smith outplayed Matthew Beinner heads-up to take home the title and a grand prize of $662,200 2.
High-stakes players can look forward to the $25,500 High Roller and $10,000 NLH events, while PLO specialists can expect multiple buy-in options. Specialty events will include the Seniors Championship, Ladies Championship, Big O, and various mixed games like H.O.R.S.E., Eight-Game Mix, and Dealers' Choice.
The $400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold'em opener will have a $2,000,000 guarantee, and midway through the series, the $1,100 Triple Stack and $600 Deep Stack events are expected to draw big numbers 1.
The 2024 WPT Seminole Rock 'N' Roll Poker Open was one of the largest and most diverse series on the East Coast. Florida's booming poker scene suggests that the 2025 edition could have an even larger prize pool. The Championship finale is anticipated to be worthy of its reputation, with Landon Tice, who was at the final table last year, falling early to Smith due to a cooler involving pocket aces 3.
