On Thursday night, the Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) hosted the 81st event in its history. It took place at South Florida’s Seminole Hard Rock as a part of the 2025 Poker Showdown, which will culminate with a $3,500 buy-in, $3 million GTD World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event from April 4-8.
The CSOP $300 Larry Frank Memorial Charity attracted 140 entrants and offered up a $15,000 prize pool. Additionally, $24,200 from entry fees was raised for Make-A-Wish Southern Florida, plus additional funds from an auction.
Ultimately, it was Matthew Zarcadoolas coming out on top to claim a $5,000 first-place prize plus a seat into the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship. He also won a $1,000 bonus for being the chip leader at the first break.
The late Larry Frank, also known as “Mr. Frank,” was a longtime employee at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood and was “instrumental in the success of tournament poker in South Florida.” As the SHRP blog stated: “Larry Frank was a member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Before he passed in 2021, he worked for Seminole Gaming and Seminole Hard Rock Support Services for more than 25 years in various roles, including General Manager of Poker Operations at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood and General Manager of Seminole Casino Classic.”

- Each player is dealt a set number of cards at the start of the game, typically ten, with the remaining cards making up the draw pile. The discard pile is initiated by placing the top card face-up from the draw pile. The players alternately draw a card from the discard pile or the draw pile, then discard one card from their hand. 25-04-30
- Players have to strategically decide which cards to keep and which to discard while continuously assessing their hands. This process takes into account how each card interacts with the other cards in the hand in addition to evaluating possible melds. Sorting cards according to how likely they are to form melds is a useful hand management technique. 25-04-30
- To avoid facilitating the opponent's progress in such situations, it might be prudent to refrain from discarding cards from that suit. On the other hand, it might indicate that it is okay to release similar cards without worrying about aiding an opponent if a player discards a card that has been ignored by other players for a number of turns. Recording the cards that are discarded can also assist players in determining which cards are less likely to be selected from the draw pile. Making better decisions about which cards to keep and which to discard is made possible by this information. Players can improve their strategic play & raise their winning odds by keeping an eye on both their hand and the cards they have chosen to discard. 25-04-30

- The ability to track discarded cards is a crucial skill in Rummy Game 51. Players can use this technique to determine which cards are still in play and to learn what their opponents may be gathering. Informed choices regarding which cards to draw or discard themselves can be made by players by keeping an eye on the discard pile. For example, a player may be trying to complete a meld with those cards if they observe that their opponent has routinely selected particular suits from the discard pile. 25-04-30
- When holding onto high-point unmelded cards or when it becomes obvious that winning is unlikely, dropping—which is giving up a round before melding all of one's cards—can be a calculated tactic. It takes good judgment and knowledge of one's own hand as well as the game's dynamics to know when to drop. In the event that a player has multiple high-point unmelded cards & notices that an opponent is nearly winning, it might be wiser to leave the game early rather than risk accruing more points against them. 25-04-30

- When plans don't work out, it's easy to get frustrated, but sometimes stepping back and reevaluating one's stance can produce better results. When an opponent discards a card that initially appears to be unimportant but could potentially complete a future meld for oneself, for example, patience enables deliberate deliberation as opposed to rash responses. Maintaining focus also entails actively participating in every facet of the game, such as keeping tabs on opponents' moves, recording the cards that are discarded, and constantly assessing one's own hand for possible enhancements. 25-04-30
