The Hollywood Poker Open $2,500 Championship Event is certainly one of the can’t-miss tournaments of the summer.

After two huge fields turned out in Season 1 and Season 2, with 631 and 692 entries, respectively, an average of $335,000 was awarded to the winner. Add in the great HPO staff, world-class M Resort Casino Spa, and playing alongside 2003 WSOP Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker, and you’d regret passing this one up.
