Raminder Singh and Jean Laurent turned the 2026 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open into an unusual two-player trophy race, with each winning four events during the same festival at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Singh reached the four-win mark first, becoming the first player in Seminole Hard Rock Poker history to capture four major-series trophies during a single festival. Laurent matched the achievement two days later, giving the 2026 SHRPO two four-time winners before the series ended.
The accomplishment is especially notable because the victories were spread across different formats, field sizes and deal structures rather than coming from one narrow tournament specialty.
Singh Sets a New Seminole Hard Rock Poker Record
Singh entered the SHRPO already established as one of the most successful trophy winners in Seminole Hard Rock Poker history. By the time his fourth victory of the festival was official, he had extended his career record to 20 SHRP major-series trophies.
His run began in Event 10, the $300 Triple Stack Black Chip Bounty No-Limit Hold'em. The tournament attracted 222 entries, and Singh was part of a three-way deal that awarded him the official victory, $6,385 and an added $3,000 seat.
He followed that result by winning Event 15, another $300 tournament, this time a Triple Stack No-Limit Hold'em event. Singh held the chip lead when a heads-up deal was reached and collected $8,374 along with another $3,000 seat.
Victory No. 3 came in the $1,100 Deep Stack Turbo No-Limit Hold'em Event 42. Singh won that tournament outright for $10,978, moving his SHRP major-series trophy total to 19.
The record-setting fourth win arrived in Event 49, a $300 Quad Stack No-Limit Hold'em tournament. The event drew 148 entries and generated a $36,704 prize pool. Singh was the slight chip leader when the final two players agreed to a deal, making him the official champion for $8,205.
According to Seminole Hard Rock Poker's official report on Singh's fourth victory, the result made him the first player in the property's history to win four events during one series.
Singh's four 2026 SHRPO victories were:
$300 Triple Stack Black Chip Bounty NLH — $6,385
$300 Triple Stack NLH — $8,374
$1,100 Deep Stack Turbo NLH — $10,978
$300 Quad Stack NLH — $8,205
Those four listed payouts totaled $33,942, before accounting for bounty awards or the additional tournament seats attached to some of the victories.
Jean Laurent Matches the Four-Trophy Mark
Singh's new record did not remain his alone for long.
Jean Laurent built his own four-title run at the same festival, doing much of his damage in Omaha before closing the streak with a large-field No-Limit Hold'em victory.
Laurent's first title came in Event 7, a $600 Limit Omaha 8 tournament. He defeated a 65-entry field outright and earned $11,755. It was his third career SHRP major-series trophy.
The next victory arrived in Event 17, a $600 Deep Stack Mixed Pot-Limit Omaha tournament with 111 entries. Laurent held a slight chip lead when the final two players made a deal, giving him the trophy and $13,937.
He added another Mixed Pot-Limit Omaha title in Event 45. That tournament drew 107 entries and produced a $55,426 prize pool. A three-way agreement ended play with Laurent receiving the official victory and $11,675.
Then came Event 51.
The $400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold'em tournament attracted 304 entries and met its $100,000 guarantee. Six players ultimately reached an agreement at the final table, and Laurent held the chip lead at the time. That made him the official champion for $15,367 and, more importantly, the second player to reach four victories during the 2026 SHRPO.
Seminole Hard Rock Poker confirmed Laurent's fourth win as his sixth career SHRP major-series trophy.
Laurent's four victories were:
$600 Limit Omaha 8 — $11,755
$600 Deep Stack Mixed PLO — $13,937
$600 Deep Stack Mixed PLO — $11,675
$400 Deep Stack NLH — $15,367
The four listed first-place payouts combined for $52,734.
Two Very Different Paths to Four Wins
The headline number is the same for both players, but the routes they took were different.
Singh's SHRPO run was concentrated primarily in No-Limit Hold'em events, including bounty, triple-stack, turbo and quad-stack formats. Laurent demonstrated more of a mixed-game profile, winning three Omaha-based tournaments before adding his fourth trophy in No-Limit Hold'em.
Several victories were also officially awarded after deals at the final table. That distinction matters when evaluating tournament results: in these events, the player holding the appropriate chip position when the agreement was reached was recognized by Seminole Hard Rock Poker as the official champion and trophy winner.
Laurent's opening Limit Omaha 8 victory and Singh's $1,100 Deep Stack Turbo win were outright victories.
The result is an unusual record from one festival: two players each officially won four tournaments during the same SHRPO.
Singh Also Tops the SHRPO Leaderboard
The trophy race translated into a strong showing on the series leaderboard as well.
In an official leaderboard update published near the end of the festival, Singh held first place with 509.50 points. Laurent was second with 454.90, well ahead of the next group of players.
That provides another measure of how consistently the pair performed. Their impact on the series was not based on one major score surrounded by smaller results; both repeatedly reached the point where they were officially closing tournaments as champions.

Why the Four-Win Feat Matters
Winning four tournaments at one festival requires repeated deep runs across a relatively compressed schedule. Even when final-table deals are involved, a player still has to navigate the field and accumulate enough chips to reach the position from which an official victory can be awarded.
Singh's performance also added to an already significant Seminole Hard Rock record. His fourth win brought him to 20 SHRP major-series trophies, extending his lead on the property's all-time list.
For Laurent, the festival accelerated a much newer run of success at Seminole Hard Rock. His four SHRPO victories increased his career total to six major-series trophies, with all six coming during 2026.
Together, their performances gave the 2026 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open a record that may prove difficult to duplicate: the first four-win festival in SHRP history happened twice during the same series.
