Alexander Haber

It took less than eight hours for Event 18: $250 Deep Stack Turbo to finish up, and it happened when the final four players agreed to an even chop. Alex Haber, Allan Bieler, Georges Boyadjian and Zoltan Czinkota each locked up $4,136 with the official Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Deep Stack Turbo title going to Haber.

Prior to the win, Haber had $261,435 in live tournament earnings including a career-high $71,280 for finishing third in the 2014 LAPT Panama Main Event.

Back in April, he finished runner-up in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Event #25: $1,100 NLH Turbo for $21,718. With the latest score, Haber inches closer towards Emile John Schiff on Jamaica’s all-time money list.

Event 18 drew a tough field of 120 entries. The prize pool narrowly eclipsed the $25,000 guarantee topping out at $25,200.
