Reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year Brett Bader

Like Event 1 winner Aaron Speer, Brett Bader scored a free entry into this $1,650 Winter Poker Open Main Event. No slight to Speer, Bader did it the hard way with a year’s worth of solid play, deep runs and big scores in Seminole championships. After the dust settled on the 2017/2018 season, Bader was anointed the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year earning entry in all championships slated for the following season.

That season is underway now and Bader is in this midst of his third stop on the POY tour. He previously redeemed entries in the September Coconut Creek WSOP Circuit and last month’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open in Hollywood, but came up short of a score. He hopes to kickstart his POY tenure here in Tampa.
