Hollywood Poker Open Columbus Regional $1,115 Main Event to Kick Off This Weekend

For the past week, the Hollywood Poker Open (HPO) has been hosting their latest stop – the last before June's season-ending $2,500 Championship Event at M Resort Casino Spa in Las Vegas — at the Hollywood Casino in Columbus, Ohio. On Saturday, HPO Columbus will culminate with its $1,115 buy-in Regional Main Event, which will feature a $100,000 guarantee.

The Main Event is the capstone event on the 32-event schedule, 10 of which were designated as HPO-sanctioned "featured" events. The Main Event will be live reported by the PokerNews Live Reporting Team, and the tournament will see 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champ and HPO ambassador Chris Moneymaker take his shot at winning another HPO title.
