On Friday, the World Poker Tour (WPT) returned to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida for the 2022 WPT Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open (RRPO). The first of two starting flights in the $3,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Main Event attracted 664 entrants, which surpassed the $2 million guarantee.
With Day 1b still to go at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday, November 26 (late registration will be open until 9:15 p.m.), a prize pool in excess of $4 million seems likely.
At the end of the night, James Calderaro led the advancing 220 players with 527,500.
