The Ante Up Poker Tour Returns in 2025!
Exciting news for poker enthusiasts: the Ante Up Poker Tour is making its triumphant return this year! After a brief hiatus, we’re thrilled to announce that the tour is back and better than ever, promising thrilling competition and unforgettable poker experiences.
The Ante Up Poker Tour’s first stop was Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.
Carlos Cubillos topped the Ante Up leaderboard that consisted of nine unique tournaments that tested every aspect of a player’s skill set.
Carlos competed in five of the nine events that included the sharpest local talent as well as those that came from miles away to compete alongside them.
While Carlos took the top spot, Pedro Palacio didn’t leave emty handed. For his impressive second place finish, Pedro earned a $1,600 seat into the Ante Up Poker Championship. finishing third on the leaderboard was Irwin Block who was also awarded $500 in Coco Poker Cash.
Here’s are how those tournaments finished at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek:
Event #1 $80 NL Hold’em Double Board Bombpot Turbo – Winner – NICHOLAS CHIERA JR
Event #2 $100 NL Crazy Pineapple Survivor Tournament – Winner – ARLENE VAZQUEZ
