Welcome to Day 1 of Hollywood Poker Open Tunica Regional Main Event
The Hollywood Poker Open rolls out another event on its season 3 March today as the Tunica Regional Main Event is set for a noon kickoff. Previous events at Lawrenceburg and Toledo drew well, with bracelet winner Jesse McEuen and amateur Charles Maxcy taking down solid chunks of prize money, the latter doing so as part of a six-way chop in which he bagged a seat at the season finale in Las Vegas.
Today's $1,115 Regional Main Event follows in the footsteps of last year's event, at which tour ambassador and former Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker navigated to a third-place finish in what was then an $1,800 event. Toby Mathews was able to take that one down, defeating Jonathan Taylor heads up.
Cards begin flying at noon with a slow structure that should offer the participants plenty of play, so stay tuned to PokerNews as another HPO event unfolds with live update.
