As the 20th anniversary of the World Poker Tour season progresses, the tour announced another stop at the tournament 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 taking place from November 25-30. Poker players can expect a $ 2 million guarantee.
“Our previous major event for this festival doubled the guarantee,” tour general manager Adam Pliska said in a press release. “The enthusiasm for these events has been remarkable, and I look forward to continuing our growing streak of awards for the main RRPO event.”

Details of the series
Those heading to South Florida will find additional tournaments as part of the November 16-30 series. A $ 400 Deep Stack tournament kicks off the festival with a $ 1 million guaranteed.
All players in the series are eligible for the WPT Player of the Festival classification, awarding the winner a $ 1,100 WPT Prime passport.
In Season 19, the RPO broke several awards and attendance records. The $ 3,500 main event produced more than 1,500 tickets for a $ 5 million prize pool. Lithuania Gediminas Uselis (pictured above) won the title for $ 778,490.
“I look forward to continuing our tradition of highly anticipated events this fall,” Seminole Hard Rock tournament manager Jason Heidenthal said. “We’ve been planting seeds to make sure Hollywood is considered a destination for poker players for years, and the next festival will continue to accelerate that momentum.”
The ClubWPT Tour subscription online poker site will provide rankings for the upcoming event.

Tour adds Brad Owen as ambassador
In other WPT news, the company recently signed poker vlogger and award-winning Brad Owen as ambassador. As a most recent spokesperson, Owen will be attending touring events around the world, creating exclusive WPT content, and working with the company’s online partners to promote the game.
“I’m excited to join the WPT team,” Owen said in a press release. “I’ve been looking forward to making this the next big step in my journey to poker, and I think our partnership will help us both continue to grow the game of poker.”
After playing cash games for years, Owen began showing increased gambling through YouTube videos in 2016. Since then, his channel has grown to nearly 600,000 subscribers and his total views now exceeds 120 million. Owen also won “Best Vlogger” this year at the 2022 Global Poker Awards.
“Brad has proven to be one of the most impactful forces in the community and the game lately,” Pliska noted. “His genuine approach to sharing the game of poker has reached an incredible number of fans, and WPT is fortunate to join forces with him.”
The vlogger joins well-known DJ and artist Steve Aoki as the company’s representative. The tour named Aoki as WPT’s first ambassador in January. Owen debuts as an ambassador at the WPT Choctaw festival this weekend.
