Shannon Shorr’s red-hot 2025 run continued in Hollywood, Florida, as the Alabama pro won the $25,500 High Roller at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open for $352,873. The victory, his sixth of the year, came after a heads-up deal with Cherish Andrews, who earned $318,427.
The 44-entry event pushed the prize pool over $1 million, with the final table featuring Michael Macchia, Frank Russo, Jonathan Jaffe, and Nicholas Seward. Shorr eliminated multiple opponents en route to the title, including Russo in fourth with a two-pair hand and Macchia in third with a nut flush.
Andrews briefly held a massive 16-to-1 chip lead in heads-up play after her trip deuces topped Shorr’s top pair, but Shorr stormed back with four double-ups to retake the lead. The two ultimately agreed to a deal as registration closed for a nearby $10,000 event.
The win adds to Shorr’s already impressive 2025 haul, which includes four PokerGO trophies, a WSOP Circuit ring, and 11 final tables. His latest score boosts him to 4,570 points in the Card Player Player of the Year race, putting him in 12th place overall.
