We are heading into the summer, and the poker action will heat up. Next month, even the Tuesday Night Slater Scoops Quad Stack will get into the act with more money and a bonus on June 24.
The tournament, hosted by our good friend Andy Slater, will increase its regular guarantee and offer at least $50,000 in prize money. We are also adding a $5,300 seat to the 2025 SHRPO Championship for first place, giving even more incentive to win the title.
With a $250 buy-in and huge starting stacks, a ton of value is available on June 24.
We hope to see you here!

Borukhovich had two pair queens and nines with a club draw but only ten outs on the river against his opponent’s trip nines. He got there on the

There wasn’t much drama about whether the $1,700 Deepest Stack would reach its $300,000. Great turnouts in the first two flights meant it was a virtual lock coming into a busy Saturday of action.
From now until we close registration at 11 am tomorrow, the prize pool will continue to climb with each new entry.
