The World Poker Tour (WPT) is currently in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida for the 2022 WPT Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open (RRPO). The $3,500 Buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Main Event is in full swing, but before the main tournament there were a number of side events.

Among those who must capture titles in the RRPO 2022 are AJ Kelsall (Event #5: $600 HORSE for $13,625), Salvatore Pipitone (Event no. 9: $600 limit Omaha 8 for $16,900), Michael Newman (Event #18: $400 Deep Stack Turbo NLH for $7,136), David Goodis (Event no. 23: $400 Black Chip Bounty 5 Card PLO for $9,450) and Daniel Gheba (Event #27: $400 Black Chip Bounty Turbo NLH for $9,550).

Here’s a look at some of the more notable stories from the stall’s early side events.

RRPO 2022 kicked off in a big way with Event no. 1: $400 Deep Stack NLH, a tournament that attracted 6,134 entries and more than doubled its $1 million GTD with a total prize pool of $2,024,200. The tournament, which ran from November 16-21, ended up being the third largest field in Florida history.

The tournament ended in a five-way tie that saw the chi pleader Peter Hsuwho shot only a single $400 bullet, claim the trophy and $191,223 in prize money.

“I try to play as much as I can when they have these big tournaments,” Hsu told RRPO reporters. “This is right before Thanksgiving, so it’s a good time to play.”
