A week into the action at Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, one thing has become crystal clear: this festival is going to be huge.
Record-breaking crowds have flooded the property throughout the first dozen events or so, as a consistent word keeps appearing in all of the company's press releases: history. Seemingly each event run has become the biggest of its type in Seminole Hard Rock history. And this coming from a venue that has hosted $10 million guarantees and fields in excess of 5,000. Tournaments tripling and quadrupling their guarantees has become the norm.
