The Winter Poker Open thus Far

The 2016 Winter Poker Open kicked off at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa on December 1st. In the days since, 12 new guitar trophy winners have emerged with two more yet to come.

Today marks the eve of the $1,650 buy-in, $300,000 guaranteed Championship. With the poker room wall-to-wall with satellites and cash games, it’s an off day for trophy events. We’ll take a look at the series finale a little later today, but in the meantime, below is a nod to each of our champions thus far.
