Two players won four tournaments each at the SHRPO series in Florida

At the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open 2026 series in South Florida, two players — Raminder Singh and Jean Laurent — set a record by each winning four tournaments.

In early August 2026, the prestigious Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open (SHRPO) series concluded in South Florida, held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood. The series was marked by a unique achievement: for the first time ever, two players — Raminder Singh and Jean Laurent — each managed to win four tournaments in a single SHRPO series. Raminder Singh: the absolute SHRPO record holder Raminder Singh, a well-known professional with over $4 million in live tournament winnings (according to The Hendon Mob), entered the series with 16 SHRPO titles — just one short of the record. He tied the record in the very first tournament, then not only broke it but set a new one by winning four tournaments in a single series. $400 Black Chip Bounty NLH/PLO Mix — Singh took down this event, defeating 101 entrants and collecting $7,015 plus bounties. This was his 17th SHRPO title, tying the previous record. $300 Triple Stack Bounty No-Limit Hold'em — In this 222-entry event, Singh made a three-way chop, earning $6,385 and bounties, and became the sole record holder for SHRPO trophies. $300 Triple Stack No-Limit Hold'em — After a heads-up deal, Singh received $8,374, the largest prize among 151 entrants. This was his third title of the series. $1,100 DeepStack Turbo No-Limit Hold'em — On August 7, Singh won the tournament outright, earning $10,978. He became the first player ever to win four events in a single SHRPO series. Singh calls himself a "true poker enthusiast," but his SHRPO achievements speak to his exceptional skill. In just a few weeks, he not only set a new record for trophies but also became the first to win four tournaments in one series. Jean Laurent: the second four-time winner in a single series The unique aspect of this situation is that Singh remained the only four-time SHRPO winner for just two days. Then he was joined by Jean Laurent — a player who left tournament poker for ten years in the 2010s, only to return in triumphant fashion. $600 Limit Omaha 8 — Laurent scored a clean win and took home $11,755, earning his third SHRPO trophy. $600 Mixed Pot-Limit Omaha — In this event, Laurent entered heads-up with the chip lead, after which the players agreed to a deal. Laurent received the trophy and $13,937 as the chip leader. $600 Mixed Pot-Limit Omaha — In another mixed PLO event, Laurent finished first after a three-way deal, earning $11,675. $400 DeepStack No-Limit Hold'em — On the final day of the series, Laurent won a 304-entry tournament after a six-way deal, again holding the chip lead. His prize was $15,367 — his biggest win of the series. Laurent, a South Florida resident, matched Singh's record for wins in a single SHRPO series and became the second player ever to achieve this feat.

In 2026, the series concluded on August 10, with the final event being the SHRPO Championship with a $5,300 buy-in. Among the favorites in this tournament was Joe McKeehen — the 2015 WSOP Main Event champion, who was also aiming for a major title. Explanation of formats and terms NLH/PLO Mix — a tournament where hands alternate between No-Limit Hold'em (NLH) and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO). Black Chip Bounty — a format where players receive a special reward (bounty), usually a chip of a certain denomination, for knocking out an opponent. Triple Stack — a tournament variant where players start with an increased starting stack (triple the standard size). DeepStack Turbo — a tournament with deep starting stacks and a fast blind structure. Chop (deal) — an agreement among finalists to split the prize pool according to chip counts at the time of the deal. What this means for PPPoker club players For PPPoker club members, the successes of Singh and Laurent are a great example of how regular practice and participation in a variety of tournaments can lead to outstanding results. Even if you consider yourself an "enthusiast" like Singh, persistence and experience in different formats can take your game to the next level. Pay attention to the chop strategy that both champions used frequently. In PPPoker club tournaments, there are often situations where making a deal can minimize risk and lock in profits. Study these moments and don't hesitate to discuss deals at final tables. Finally, the variety of SHRPO formats — from NLH/PLO mixes to limit and turbo tournaments — shows that player versatility is becoming increasingly important.
